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

Students gather data on a balloon rocket launch, then create a simple graph to show the results of the tests.

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

Students use tangrams to create rockets while practicing shape recognition.

Students use satellite and rover images to learn about the various features and materials that cause color variation on the surface of Mars, then create their own “Marscape.”

In this cross-curricular STEM and language arts lesson, students learn about planets, stars and space missions and write STEM-inspired poetry to share their knowledge of or inspiration about these topics.

Students use art to describe and recognize the geology on planetary surfaces.

In this challenge, students will use a model robotic arm to move items from one location to another. They will engage in the engineering design process to design, build and operate the arm.

Students learn about star patterns and create their own constellation stories in a do-it-yourself planetarium.
