ELV Edible Lunar Vehicle Project

PHOTOS FROM THE MAKING DAY

The making of the Edible Lunar Vehicle was the outcome from our context in the second half of Term 1.   Our learning around making comparisons of the environments of the earth and the moon, and looking at the features of lunar vehicles that make them suitable for travelling on the surface of the moon, gave us the ideas for our lunar vehicles. 

There were specifications that needed to be followed: 

2015 Specifications

Food items – planned and provided by your group.

2 long skewers (provided)

Your design must include the following features of a lunar vehicle
     

          Measure more than 20 cm long

          Measure more than 10 cm wide

          4 wheels that rotate

          Oxygen tank compartments

          Antenna to receive instructions

          Satellite communication dish

          Seating for astronauts

          Steering device

          Wheels suitable for travelling on the surface of the moon.

Your vehicle will need to travel a minimum of 1 metre measured from the bottom of a ramp when launched from the top of the ramp.

Making day will be Tuesday 31^st March. You need to have all your materials at school on this day.

Race Time will be 12 pm – midday. This is when you will test your design against all the others to see which one will stay together and go further than 1 metre down the ramp.

GOOD LUCK!
