Smithsonian Mars Dig

Chisel away at a sand block to unearth the same type of rocks found on Mars! This kit promotes learning opportunities for junior geologists as they assemble a scale model of the Mars Perseverance Rover – complete with wheels, antenna, and a robotic arm. Perseverance is the fifth rover to be sent to Mars and the first ever to bring a sample-gathering system to collect rocks and sediments – all to be returned to Earth by a future NASA mission! This set includes an educational 23” x 17” STEM poster with information on Martian geology and space exploration. • Assemble a scale model of the Mars Perseverance Rover. • Learn about Martian geology and space exploration. • Ages 8+
