Students use a spreadsheet model to understand droughts and the movement of water in the water cycle.

Students predict and observe what happens when two objects collide to model collisions in space.

Students will use the engineering design process to design, build, test and improve a model satellite intended to investigate the surface of a planet.

Students predict the scale of our solar system and the distance between planets, then check their answers using fractions.

Using real data from NASA’s GRACE satellites, students will track water mass changes in the U.S.

Students generate maps and physical models of simulated surface features on Jupiter’s moon Europa while learning how spacecraft make maps using radar.

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

Students will compute the approximate travel time to planets in the solar system using different modes of transportation.

Students perform a simple science experiment to learn how a rocket works and demonstrate Newton’s third law of motion.
