Students use simple materials to model a partial, annular, and total solar eclipse.

Students use art to describe and recognize the geology on planetary surfaces – now including Mars and asteroids.

This demonstration uses a water balloon to show how Earth's oceans are absorbing most of the heat being trapped on our warming world.

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

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!

Students predict and observe what happens when two objects collide to model collisions in space.

Students use tangrams to create rover designs while practicing shape recognition.

Students perform a simple science experiment to learn how a rocket works and demonstrate Newton’s third law of motion.

Students decide what they want to learn from a robotic mission to Mars and what tools they will put on their robot to accomplish their goals.
