Observing
- What factors did you have to consider when planning your design?
- How did the design constraint affect your design?
- What was something that was changed during the design and build process, and why? What effect would this have for the Astronaut?
- Can you describe the pieces used in your structure from top to bottom?
Predicting
- Why might you want to plan before building?
- Why is it important that structures are stable?
- How would you have designed your Mars base differently if you did not have the materials constraint?
Collaborating
- What area would you add for your Astronaut if you had more time?
- Did you have to make any edits to your design because the materials were limited?
