Part 1: Brainstorming

• Objective of Your Lunar Simulation:

  • Write down what you want to achieve with your lunar simulation (e.g., explore the lunar surface, conduct scientific experiments, build a lunar base).

• Features of the Moon:

  • List some key features of the lunar environment that you want to include in your simulation (e.g., craters, rocks, low gravity).

Part 2: Sketch Your Lunar Landscape

• Use this space to draw a rough sketch of your lunar landscape. Include terrain features like craters, mountains, and plains.
  
  

Part 3: Design Your Lunar Rover

• Appearance:

  • Sketch your rover design. Think about what tools and equipment it will have.

• Functionality:

  • Write down the functions your rover will perform (e.g., collecting samples, taking photographs).

Part 4: Plan Your Missions

• List down at least three missions or tasks that will be part of your simulation. Example: "Collect rock samples from different craters."

Part 5: Identify Challenges and Solutions

• Challenges:

  • What obstacles or challenges might your rover face on the moon? (e.g., steep terrain, meteor showers)

• Solutions:

  • How will your rover overcome these challenges? Think about tools, maneuvers, or strategies.

Part 6: Additional Features

• Are there any other features you want to include in your simulation? (e.g., alien artifacts, a base station)

Part 7: Reflect

• Write a short paragraph about what you hope to learn from creating this lunar simulation.
