Answer Key

Teacher Notes:
Learning objectives: Students will identify simple ways robots help in space, recognize basic robot parts and functions, and apply simple problem-solving to space missions. Suggested classroom use: Assign as independent homework after an introduction to space robotics or use as a quick review. Differentiation: Support struggling learners with word banks, sentence starters, or partner review; challenge advanced learners to explain how a robot could help astronauts on a new planet. Extension activity: Ask students to design a simple robot for one space task and label its parts. Skills practiced: reading comprehension, vocabulary, classification, simple reasoning, basic problem solving.

#	Answer	Explanation
1	They can go to places that are dangerous or hard for people to reach.	Space robots help explore areas that may be too risky for astronauts.
2	B) drill	A drill can help a robot collect samples from rock or ice.
3	True	A rover is designed to travel over the surface of another world.
4	Camera: takes pictures or sends images.	Cameras help robots see and send visual information back to Earth.
5	Wheels: help the robot move on the ground.	Wheels let a rover travel across the surface.
6	rover	Mars rovers are robots built to travel on the Martian surface.
7	A) inside a lava tube on another planet	Robots can work in places that may be too dangerous for people.
8	Examples: take pictures, collect samples, measure temperature, or move across rough ground.	Space robots can do many exploration tasks.
9	False	Most space robots work without a person inside them.
10	Sun	Solar panels change sunlight into energy.
11	A) to see and send images	Cameras help robots observe space environments.
12	2, 1, 3	A rover must land before it can explore and send pictures.
13	A sensor detects information, such as light, heat, motion, or distance.	Sensors help robots notice what is happening around them.
14	B) rover	A rover can move and examine rocks on the Moon.
15	collect	Robot arms are often used to gather and move samples.
16	True	Robots send back data that scientists use to study space.
17	It may need to save power or stop working until it gets more energy.	Robots must manage energy carefully in space.
18	A) sensor	Sensors can measure distance and other conditions.
19	It may have trouble driving over the rocks or getting stuck.	Rough ground can make movement difficult for a rover.
20	True	Robots can explore first and send important information.
21	A) explore	Robots support exploration by collecting and sending data.
22	rough	Space surfaces can be uneven, rocky, or dusty.
23	A) take a picture	Taking a picture helps scientists study the rock.
24	Examples: robots can explore first, carry tools, or collect data for astronauts.	Robots and astronauts often complete different jobs on the same mission.
25	Example: It should have strong wheels so it can move over rocky ground.	A good robot design matches the job and environment.
