Ready, S.E.T. (Science, Engineering, Technology), Go!
Learners design spacecraft to gather data about Mars. As scientists, they choose a mission. As engineers, they figure out which instruments to send on the mission.
Each PLANETS unit begins with Ready S.E.T. Go! to set context. Learners then share their own stories in Activity 1. Next, educators choose either the Science or Engineering Pathway, or both, if time allows. Learners do not need to repeat Ready S.E.T. Go! or Activity 1 when doing both pathways.

Setup: Prep Time 60 min.
- Review the unit front matter and activity educator guide.
- Print Notebooks.
- Cut out instruments.
- Make Our Ideas Poster.
