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

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

Students make predictions and observations about how ice will melt in different conditions then compare their predictions to results as they make connections to melting glaciers.

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!

Student teams use the engineering design process and everyday materials to design an insulator that will keep a small amount of water from rapidly changing temperature.

Students use microcontrollers and temperature sensors to measure the flow of heat through a soil sample.

In this 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.

Explore space and science activities that students can do with NASA at Home, including video tutorials for making rockets, Mars rovers, Moon landers, and more.

Students design and build a solar hot water heater and see how big a temperature change they can get.
