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. Calendar for 2022 now available for download!

In this lesson, students build a paper helicopter, then improve the design and compare and measure performance.

Student teams use the engineering design process and everyday materials to design an insulator that will keep a small amount of water from rapidly changing temperature.

Students learn how Mars rovers use spectroscopy to study the chemical composition of rock samples on the Red Planet then model the process in the classroom.

Students will learn about the expanding universe and the redshift of lightwaves, then perform their own calculations with a distant supernova.

Students decide what they want to learn from a robotic mission to Mars and what tools they will put on their robot to accomplish their goals.

Students design and build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two "astronauts" when they land.

Students design, build and program a robotic “super crawler” to transport a payload from a starting position to a target launch pad, deliver the payload in an upright position and return the robot to the starting point.

In this video lesson, students learn to design, build and launch paper rockets, calculate how high they fly and improve their designs.
