Students draw and interpret topographic maps while learning about technology used to map Earth's surface, the seafloor, and other worlds.

Students will investigate the action-reaction principal (Newton's third law of motion) by creating water-propelled engines and changing different variables to see how their engines perform.

Students use satellite data to help determine the greatest renewable energy potentials in any given region and develop graphing skills.

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

Students explore the relationship between magnetism and electricity to model how scientists determined that Jupiter's moon Europa has a subsurface ocean.

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

Students model the position of the planets around the Sun and then model viewing them from Earth on any given date.
