Students work in teams employing an iterative design process to design and build a water filtration device using commonly available materials.

Students will use the engineering design process to design, build, test and improve a model satellite intended to investigate the surface of a planet.

In this board-game lesson, students learn basic computer programming skills by playing the roles of a Mars rover, scientist and engineer to make exploration decisions and accomplish science goals.

Using only pasta and glue, students design a rover that will travel down a one-meter ramp and then travel an additional one meter on a smooth, flat surface.

Students design and build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two "astronauts" when they land.

In this video lesson, students learn to design, build and launch paper rockets, calculate how high they fly and improve their designs.

Students study rocket stability as they design, construct and launch paper rockets using soda straws.

In this standards-aligned unit, students learn about Mars, design a mission to explore the planet, build and test model spacecraft and components, and engage in scientific exploration.

This board-game activity teaches students the process of design, engineering and technology for a mission to Mars.
