Students try to determine the interior makeup of an egg (hard-boiled or raw) based on their understanding of center of mass and Newton’s first law of motion.

In this cross-curricular STEM and language arts lesson, students learn about planets, stars and space missions and write STEM-inspired poetry to share their knowledge of or inspiration about these topics.

Students use satellite and rover images to learn about the various features and materials that cause color variation on the surface of Mars, then create their own “Marscape.”

Students use microcontrollers and temperature sensors to measure the flow of heat through a soil sample.

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.

Students build a model that demonstrates an important contributor to sea-level rise – how water volume increases when the temperature of the water increases.

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

Launch rockets, build a hovercraft, create a winning science fair project and more! These science, technology, engineering and math activities are fun for kids, adults and the whole family.

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