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

Students will design, build and test a crew exploration vehicle, or CEV, to carry astronauts to Mars – meeting size, mass and payload requirements.

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

Students build a rubber-band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

Students build a solar oven and learn about the importance of solar energy for establishing a lunar base.

Students construct balloon-powered rockets to launch the greatest payload possible to the classroom ceiling.

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 2022 now available for download!

Students play a strategy card game that requires them to use problem-solving to successfully explore the Moon and Mars. Plus, *NEW* Outer Worlds Expansion Pack now available!

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to calculate the area covered by a laser used to detect frost on the Moon's surface.
