[QUIZ THEME]

Opportunity is the name of a ROBOT. What KIND of robot is Opportunity? IS IT:


An Android Robot?

[SCI-FI SPACESHIP]


>>RACHEL: Switch your brushing to the other side of the top of your mouth…


[SWITCH BELL]


>>RACHEL: -and make little circles with your brush around each tooth. The answer is ....A Space Rover!


[SCI-FI SPACESHIP] 


>>RACHEL: Opportunity is a rover robot that was sent into space to explore the planet Mars. And it’s still there! Opportunity’s job has been to study the rocks and weather on Mars. It was only supposed to work on Mars for 3 months, but it’s been there for over 15 years! 


>>RACHEL: Switch to the bottom of your mouth…


[SWITCH BELL]


>>RACHEL: and brush your front teeth too. 


Opportunity was launched into space by NASA, a team of scientists who study space. NASA sent Opportunity to Mars to see if there’s water on the planet. 


And guess what! Opportunity found clues that there was water on Mars.


[WATER SOUNDS]


>>RACHEL: Mission accomplished! Nasa has sent other rovers to mars too, like the rover named Curiosity. 


Switch to the other side of the bottom of your mouth…


[SWITCH BELL]


>>RACHEL: -and brush the molars in the way back. 


So you see, robots help humans do both ordinary and extraordinary things! They’re useful tools that help us learn about new places, and make our everyday life easier by doing hard or boring jobs for us.
