review 1: Citations: Rusch, Elizabeth. (2012). The mighty mars rovers: the incredible adventures of spirit and opportunity. New York, NY. Houghton Mifflin Books for Children. Genre: Non-FictionFormat: Picure bookReading level: 5Theme/topic: SpaceSummary: The Mighty Mars Rovers: The Incredible Adventures of Spirit and Opportunity, by Elizabeth Rusch is a nonfiction chapter book about America’s mission to go to space. She begins by explaining the people involved and their dreams of one day creating something that could make it to space. The book covers how the scientists came up with their ideas and how some ideas failed and others worked. Overall, this book includes many pictures and details that leads up to Americans finally landing rovers on Mars to look at the geology and landsc... moreape of this planet. In-class activity: Students could work together to create a rocket they would create their rocket around a camera film case and when they were finished we would conduct a science experiment. The whole class would go outside and I would put liquid that would shoot the rocket into the sky into the camera film case. For fun we could reward the group of students whose rocket went the highest.
