This whiteboard video describes how "radioisotope power" allows many spacecraft, such as NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars, to stay powered while traveling through space and exploring other planets.

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.

This six-part video series walks educators and students through the ins and outs of crafting a science fair project.

Students learn to read, interpret and compare “heat map” representations of Earth science data.

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

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