Road to Mars: Further training on demand
Mars, it seems as if all space organizations nowadays have their sights set on this neighboring planet. Stories of successful launches alternate with failed attempts. And then there is a certain E. Musk who claims to land the first humans on Mars within a few years.
During this STEM project we investigate which challenges we have to overcome to achieve a successful launch to Mars. Consider the route that needs to be taken and whether we can leave for Mars at any time. We also look at what is involved in making a rocket perform a stable flight and what the most aerodynamic shape is. The students will have to devise methods themselves to determine the height, speed and acceleration of their rocket.
Use
The duration of this project is between ten to fourteen
hours.
However, this project can also be used perfectly as a half-day STEM
workshop:
- class discussion of chapters 3 and 4 with their work volumes;
- carrying out the experiments with the water rocket from chapter 5.
