Students study rocket stability as they design, construct and launch paper rockets using soda straws.

Students build a spectrometer using basic materials as a model for how NASA uses spectroscopy to determine the nature of elements found on Earth and other planets.

Students develop a model to represent the collision of two black holes, the gravitational waves that result and the waves' propagation through spacetime.

Students use advanced algebra concepts to determine the next opportunity to launch a spacecraft to Mars.

Students use satellite data to help determine the greatest renewable energy potentials in any given region and develop graphing skills.

Whip up a moon-like crater with baking ingredients as a demonstration for students.

Using real data from NASA’s GRACE satellites, students will track water mass changes in the U.S.

Students will make observations of two containers and identify differences in content, justify their claims and make comparisons to dark matter observations.

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.
