Students play a strategy card game that requires them to use problem-solving to successfully explore the Moon and Mars. Plus, *NEW* Outer Worlds Expansion Pack now available!

Students use a spreadsheet model to understand droughts and the movement of water in the water cycle.

In this lesson, students use their knowledge of moon phases to build a calendar they can use to find out when and where to see each phase of the Moon throughout the year. Calendar for 2023 now available for download!

In this intermediate-level programming challenge, students use microdevices along with light and mirrors to build a relay that can send information to a distant detector.

Students use a planar model of a gravity well to create different orbital configurations around a central mass.

Students code microcontrollers to send and receive radio signals, simulating communications between Earth and spacecraft.

Students observe the process and results of transpiration from a plant in their schoolyard.

Students use simple supplies to model how NASA tracks the location of spacecraft from Earth.

NASA has dozens of robotic spacecraft exploring our solar system – and beyond. So how exactly do we navigate spacecraft that are so far away?
