8th Grade STEM final challenge Part 1

This is a resource that I made to replace a multiple choice final exam where students have to use many of the concepts and ideas they learned during the school year and apply it to an interplanetary probe mission to another world.  I have included all of the items that will be need in this materials section.  It is very open ended, so I left it as a .doc so that you can change depending on the needs of the students and the curriculum/YAG that you use.  I uploaded another document here that will explain how to create the mission information that the students will “receive” from their spacecraft.
