In this robotics challenge, students will program a rover to use a color sensor on several rock samples, allowing them to simulate how the Mars rover Curiosity collects geological samples by drilling into them then using a camera to analyze the light emit

This lesson uses stacking cubes as a way to graph precipitation data, comparing the precipitation averages and seasonal patterns for several locations.

These 60-second videos answer some of the most frequently asked questions about our planetary neighbor, Mars, and the spacecraft that explore it.

In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to reveal the size of a planet outside our solar system, find out how much helium is raining out from Jupiter's cloud tops, locate a seismic event on Mars and study an interstellar object detected in our so

In this illustrated math problem, students use pi and data from the Kepler space telescope to find the size of a planet outside our solar system.

Students use pi to calculate how much helium is being rained out of Jupiter's cloud tops in this illustrated math problem.

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to identify the timing and location of a seismic event on Mars, called a "marsquake."

Students use pi to calculate the rotation rate of an asteroid from another solar system in this illustrated math problem.

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to find the "habitable zone" around a distant star and determine which of its planets are in that zone.
