In this inquiry-based learning case, students enter the role of mechanical engineers advising an international council on the development of air-propelled rovers and reducing collisions during off-planet exploration.

Investigate and experiment with seven functioning Wheel and Axle and Inclined Plane models designed to demonstrate science and technology concepts.

Students can determine, through investigation, if the machine multiplies the force it applies to the resistance (load), if the machine changes the direction of the force they apply, and more.
