Students observe the process and results of transpiration from a plant in their schoolyard.

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

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

Students draw and interpret topographic maps while learning about technology used to map Earth's surface, the seafloor, and other worlds.

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

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

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

In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to compare the sizes of Mars landing areas, calculate the length of a year for a distant solar system object, measure the depth of the ocean from an airplane, and determine the diameter of a debris disk.
