In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to determine the size of a Mars dust storm, estimate the water content of a rain cloud, gauge how much Jupiter's Great Red Spot has shrunk and calculate the strength of a laser used to explode ice samples.

In this illustrated math problem, students use pi and data from Mars orbiters to calculate how much of Mars was covered by a giant dust storm.

In this illustrated math problem, students use pi to calculate how much water could be contained within a cloud.

In this illustrated math problem, students calculate the percent by which Jupiter's Great Red Spot shrank between 1979 and 2018.

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to calculate the amount of energy put out by a laser to determine if it can explode an ice sample for analysis.

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

Students will make observations of two containers and identify differences in content, justify their claims and make comparisons to dark matter observations.

Students will design, build and test a crew exploration vehicle, or CEV, to carry astronauts to Mars – meeting size, mass and payload requirements.

This whiteboard video describes how "radioisotope power" allows many spacecraft, such as NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars, to stay powered while traveling through space and exploring other planets.
