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.

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

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.

Students build rubber-band-powered rockets and launch them at various angles to learn about rocket stability and trajectory.

This visual math problem set gives students a chance to use the mathematical constant pi with some of the real calculations space explorers use every day.

Students use NASA images and a hands-on activity to compare the amounts of land and surface water on our planet.

Students learn about the phases of the moon by acting them out.
