The space study group began building their own version of a Mars rover today!  Last week, the study group poured over books and photos, drew plans, and began collecting materials that might be useful for building a rover.  Today the children used a diagram from one of our resource books to begin making the various parts of a rover.  As you can see, they built a solar panel, cameras, low gain antenna, magnet array, and wheels.  The Eagles decided to label the parts so the group could keep track and anyone looking at the rover will know what's what!
