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

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

In this activity, students use spreadsheet software and their knowledge of scale, proportion and ratios to develop a solar system model that fits on a playground.

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

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.

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.
