Rovers are moon cars that astronauts can use to drive across the surface of the moon. They use them to help carry supplies and explore. In this activity, you will build and test a prototype rubber band-powered rover. A prototype is the first model of an invention.

These To Go Lessons can be used to create a "grab and go" style activity with supplies included. Add your local contact information, print, and cut each sheet in half. The left side can be used on the outside of the paper bag or box to identify the activity, and the right side can be placed in the package as an instruction sheet.

Youth-serving organizations in Iowa are encouraged to contact their local Iowa State University Extension and Outreach county office to explore partnership opportunities in administering this program.
