Students predict and observe what happens when two objects collide to model collisions in space.

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

Using the fundamental criteria for life, students examine simulated extraterrestrial soil samples for signs of life.

Students use satellite data to help determine the greatest renewable energy potentials in any given region and develop graphing skills.

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

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

Students explore the science behind an intriguing planetary feature by creating saline solutions and then observing what happens when the solutions evaporate. Now updated with findings from Mars!

Students explore practical applications of exponents and division to investigate what it takes for NASA spacecraft to travel deep into the solar system using only solar power.
