In this 19-lesson, 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 use global temperature data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends.

Students use art to describe and recognize the geology on planetary surfaces.

Students join teenager Hannah on a trip through the solar system in this stellar musical about the planets, moons, asteroids and space.

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

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

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

Launch rockets, build a hovercraft, create a winning science fair project and more! These science, technology, engineering and math activities are fun for kids, adults and the whole family.

Students predict the scale of our solar system and the distance between planets, then check their answers using fractions.
