Oh, no! An asteroid is on a collision course with Earth!. The challenge, should your students choose to accept it, is to design underground survival caverns to shelter people for one year. Over the course of eight lessons, engineering teams must explore maps, determine the size of the caverns, identify and test rocks, and choose and defend the location of their site. The activities follow the steps of the engineering design process.
