Young Engineers!


With the help of our third grade science buddies, my fifth grade students recreated the Mars Pathfinder. They didn't have all the advancements of technology on their side. They did have a cereal box, a couple balloons, an egg, some string, and a parachute made of newspaper. They did a great job constructing the Pathfinder and getting the egg (i.e. the Mars rover) to the ground safely!
