Students create a presentation for their peers by exploring planets, missions, and asteroids with NASA’s Eyes, a free, web-based interactive.

Take a walk in a solar system model to experience its vast size.

Students imagine and draw an alien that can survive with traits and environmental conditions that scientists look for in the search for life beyond Earth.

Students generate maps and physical models of simulated surface features on Jupiter’s moon Europa while learning how spacecraft make maps using radar.

Students will compute the approximate travel time to planets in the solar system using different modes of transportation.

Students model the position of the planets around the Sun and then model viewing them from Earth on any given date.

Students model different densities of Jupiter’s moon Europa to investigate what might lie beneath the icy surface.

Students explore the relationship between magnetism and electricity to model how scientists determined that Jupiter's moon Europa has a subsurface ocean.

This kinesthetic activity provides students with an opportunity to engage in several Common Core Math standards while learning about their classmates and the Juno mission at Jupiter.
