Students learn about cloud types to be able to predict inclement weather. They will then identify areas in the school affected by severe weather and develop a solution to ease the impacts of rain, wind, heat or sun.

Whip up a moon-like crater with baking ingredients as a demonstration for students.

Students use math to understand why a leap day is inserted into our calendar every four years.

Students create a scale model of the solar system using beads and string.

In this simple engineering design lesson, students turn a piece of paper into an aircraft wing and then try to improve upon their design.

Students learn about surface features on Mars, then use a visual programming language to create a Mars exploration game.

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

Students study rocket stability as they design, construct and launch paper rockets using soda straws.

In this board-game lesson, students learn basic computer programming skills by playing the roles of a Mars rover, scientist and engineer to make exploration decisions and accomplish science goals.
