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.

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.
