Student Project .
Like a decoder wheel for the Moon, this calendar will show you where and when to see the Moon and every moon phase throughout the year. 2024 calendar now available!
Lesson .
Students use simple materials to model a partial, annular, and total solar eclipse.
In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to determine how far a team of rovers drive on the Moon.
Teachable Moment .
Learn how pi is used by NASA and how many of its infinite digits have been calculated, then explore the science and engineering behind the 2024 Pi Day Challenge.
In this illustrated problem set, students use pi like NASA scientists and engineers working on space communications, and Earth, Moon, and asteroid science.
Learn about the science behind solar eclipses, how to watch safely, and how to engage students in NASA science.
In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to calculate the size of a Mars rock sample, compare the mirrors of two space telescopes, deduce an asteroid's makeup, and size up a solar eclipse.
There’s no better time to learn about the Moon than during a lunar eclipse. Here’s how eclipses work, what to expect, and how to get students engaged.
Students use the Danjon Scale of Lunar Eclipse Brightness to illustrate the range of colors and brightness the Moon can take on during a total lunar eclipse.
Learn what happens during a total lunar eclipse, when and where to watch the next one – and, when the time is right, rate an eclipse based on its brightness and color!
Students use a paper plate to make a model that explains why lunar eclipses don’t occur during every full moon.
In this lesson, students use their knowledge of moon phases to build a calendar they can use to find out when and where to see each phase of the Moon throughout the year. 2025 calendar now available!
Draw what you see in a Moon Journal and see if you can predict the moon phase that comes next.
Students learn about the phases of the moon by acting them out.
Explore the incredible history of the Apollo missions and find out what's in store for NASA's next mission to the Moon.
