"The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them."
MarsBots is a fun, exciting, hands-on set of activities for kids who want to learn about the Martian environment and robotic exploration. Projects include using Play Dough to make planets, commanding a "robotic arm" and designing landers to carry (and protect) eggs dropped from a building. Try it yourself! Visit MarsBots Lessons and check out the activities and experiments.
