This week in DT, year 5 have begun to design and build their own Mars rovers. Your homework this week is to research and write a short report about what NASA's Perseverance Rover is currently doing on Mars.

• What is the Perseverance Rover?
• Why has it gone to Mars?
• What is it doing while it is there?
• Who is it there with?
• How long will it's mission take?
• What other rovers have been to Mars before Perseverance and what have they achieved?

To complete this homework, you can explore the NASA Perseverance website https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/ or go to NASA's child friendly Space Place - https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/mars-2020/en/
