Student teams use block coding or python to program the separate components of the Mars Sample Return mission, then combine their projects into an integrated successful mission demonstration.

Students use a visual programming language to create a Mars helicopter exploration game.

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 determine the volume of a rock core collected by the Perseverance Mars rover.

Using the fundamental criteria for life, students examine simulated extraterrestrial soil samples for signs of life.

Students learn how Mars rovers use spectroscopy to study the chemical composition of rock samples on the Red Planet then model the process in the classroom.

Students learn to describe meteorites and rocks using candy bars as familiar models.

Students use a visual programming language to create a video game that simulates the process of collecting samples on Mars.

Students learn about Earth processes by simulating and examining lava flows from a volcano model made of play dough.
