Moon rover

For science we made a Moon rover lander using only a paper cup, paper, cellotape and straws.  We were given the task of making our Moon rover land softly onto our Moon landscape so that our marsh-mellow astronauts did not fly out.

The materials I used for my Moon rover is a straw, plastic cup, plastic bag and cellotape.

What I like best about my Moon rover is that it lands on the ground perfectly.

What I needed to modify on my Moon lander rover was to fix the plastic bag because it was making it too heavy.

One thing I learned about landing on the Moon was that you need a Moon rover to get their.

Here is a picture of my Moon rover landing on our school’s Moon surface.  I hope you like it!
