In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to calculate the size of a Mars rock sample, compare the mirrors of two space telescopes, deduce an asteroid's makeup, and size up a solar eclipse.

In this illustrated math problem, students use pi to compare the area of the Hubble Space Telescope and Webb Telescope’s primary mirror.

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to find the "habitable zone" around a distant star and determine which of its planets are in that zone.

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

Students perform a simple science experiment to learn how a rocket works and demonstrate Newton’s third law of motion.

Students construct balloon-powered rockets to launch the greatest payload possible to the classroom ceiling.

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

Students cut out, color and sequence paper rockets in a simple mathematics lesson on measurement.

Students use rocket manipulatives to help them develop number sense, counting, addition and subtraction skills.
