Students worked on the activity I, Robot, pgs. 19-22, in the Exploring Space workbook. This is the last assignment in the workbook.
This activity introduces the concept of the robot space probe. Students answered questions about how they would design a robot spacecraft to perform a space mission. Using the parts of the Cassini probe, students identified parts of the probe and then identified which part of the human body was that part’s counterpart.
In the afternoon, students completed the Comet Trading Cards assignment in the Exploring Comets II workbook. Then, they read an issue of the Star Witness News about the Deep Impact mission to Comet Tempel 1. On July 4, 2005, the Deep Impact probe sent an impactor towards the surface of the Comet. This gave scientists the opportunity to study the inside of the comet. They then answered questions about the Star Witness News issue.
