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.

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

Students construct balloon-powered rockets to launch the greatest payload possible to the classroom ceiling.

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

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 use the Danjon Scale of Lunar Eclipse Brightness to illustrate the range of colors and brightness the Moon can take on during a total lunar eclipse.

Students design a robotic insect for an extraterrestrial environment, then compare the process to how NASA engineers design robots for extreme environments like Mars.
