Mars Tumbleweed Project: Designing a Wind-driven Sensor Device that will take atmospheric and soil measurements on Mars with the goal of sending data back to Earth and discovering life on the planet. Mars Tumbleweed was introduced to 100 sixth grade science students at Fred J. Carnage Middle School in August 2002. The project was broken down into four major phases: Parachute Design, Parachute Testing, Tumbleweed Design, and Tumbleweed Testing. Competency Goal 3.05 of the NC Standard Course of Study: The learner will build an understanding of the Solar System by identifying technologies used to explore space was reached. The four concepts introduced to the sixth grade students were the Tumblecup, Box-Kite, Wedges, and Dandelion. After testing the Tumbleweed Class Demonstrators, TCD, the modified Box-Kite had the best results. When compared to NC State University's Tumbleweed Earth Demonstrator, TED, the TCD was simply a miniature TED that the college students designed.
