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

Lead a discussion about asteroids and their physical properties, then have students mold their own asteroids out of clay.

In this engineering challenge, students must stay within design limitations while creating a balloon and gondola system that can descend or ascend at a given rate or maintain its altitude.

Students use a visual programming language to create a Mars helicopter exploration game.

In this lab activity, students explore how metal reactivity relates to space exploration and spacecraft design.

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 build a model that demonstrates an important contributor to sea-level rise – how water volume increases when the temperature of the water increases.

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.
