Students will learn about the expanding universe and the redshift of lightwaves, then perform their own calculations with a distant supernova.

In this activity, students use spreadsheet software and their knowledge of scale, proportion and ratios to develop a solar system model that fits on a playground.

Students use math concepts related to transits to discover real-world data about Mercury, Venus and planets outside our solar system.

Students put their pi skills to the test to solve some of the same problems NASA scientists and engineers do.

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

In this illustrated math challenge, students use the mathematical constant pi to calculate how long it will take an Earth satellite to image the entire planet.

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to find out how far the Juno spacecraft travels in its highly eccentric orbit about Jupiter.

How much does a spacecraft need to slow down to get into orbit around Jupiter? Students use the mathematical constant pi to find the answer in this illustrated math problem.

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi and Kepler's third law to find out when a Saturn orbiter will make its mission-ending plunge into the ringed planet.
