1Question

A robot explorer is designed to visit the solar system. Name the planet that is closest to the Sun and the planet that is farthest from the Sun.

2Question

A classroom robot sorts space objects into two groups: planets and non-planets. Which of these are planets: Earth, the Moon, Jupiter, and the Sun?

3Question

A rover on Mars must travel from one point to another. Which order best shows the path a robot would follow to complete a simple space mission: start the robot, give the movement command, stop the robot, and check the mission result?

4Question

A robot on Earth uses sensors to learn about the solar system. It records that Venus is hotter than Mercury because Venus has a thick atmosphere. Write one sentence explaining why the robot should use sensors and data instead of guessing.

5Question

Design challenge: Your robot must explore three planets in the solar system and return home. Choose three planets in order from closest to farthest from the Sun, and explain one reason why a robot would need a careful plan for this mission.

Answer Key

#	Answer
1	Mercury is closest to the Sun, and Neptune is farthest from the Sun.
2	Earth and Jupiter are planets. The Moon is a moon, and the Sun is a star, so they are not planets.
3	Start the robot, give the movement command, stop the robot, and then check the mission result.
4	The robot should use sensors and data because they help it collect facts and make accurate conclusions instead of guessing.
5	One correct order is Mercury, Venus, and Earth. A robot would need a careful plan because it must follow the correct path, save power, and complete each task safely.
