Space Shelter

Students address the following engineering challenge: “The invasion has taken place and we need to find a new home. To ensure your survival beyond Earth’s occupation you must design a shelter that can be built on another planet.” Students research the characteristics of a planet of their choosing, design a shelter enabling them to survive on a new world, and explain conclusions. This activity works well with a solar system unit.
