Students generate maps and physical models of simulated surface features on Jupiter’s moon Europa while learning how spacecraft make maps using radar.

Students learn about Earth processes by simulating and examining lava flows from a volcano model made of play dough.

Students learn how scientists assess wildfires using remote sensing and solve related math problems, appropriate for various grade levels.

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

Using real data from NASA’s GRACE satellites, students will track water mass changes in the U.S.

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.

Students learn to read, interpret and compare “heat map” representations of Earth science data.
