During this activity students learn about the solar system by participating in a problem solving scenario. Teams of students choose a planet or moon to research.   After students have completed research, they draw a design for a rover that will enable their team to explore the particular landscape of their chosen planet or moon. Once the rover is built, it is placed in a scenario of an unknown solar body. Students need to collect data using video and probeware attached to the rover to determine where the rover has landed.
