In this board-game lesson, students learn basic computer programming skills by playing the roles of a Mars rover, scientist and engineer to make exploration decisions and accomplish science goals.

Students learn about surface features on Mars, then use a visual programming language to create a Mars exploration game.

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

This visual math problem set gives students a chance to use the mathematical constant pi with some of the real calculations space explorers use every day.

This infographic features four real-world math problems involving NASA spacecraft and science, and the mathematical constant pi.

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.

In this challenge, students will program a rover to use a color sensor on several rock samples, allowing them to simulate how the Mars Curiosity rover uses its ChemCam instrument to analyze light emitted from geological samples on Mars.

Students build a rubber-band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

This whiteboard video describes how "radioisotope power" allows many spacecraft, such as NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars, to stay powered while traveling through space and exploring other planets.
