Students use simple supplies to model how NASA tracks the location of spacecraft from Earth.

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.

Students learn how scientists assess wildfires using remote sensing and solve related math problems, appropriate for various grade levels.

Students design and build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two "astronauts" when they land.

This lesson uses stacking cubes as a way to graph precipitation data, comparing the precipitation averages and seasonal patterns for several locations.

Students cut out, color and sequence paper rockets in a simple mathematics lesson on measurement.

In this video series, Bill Nye explains how NASA's Juno spacecraft will explore Jupiter like never before and what scientists are hoping to learn from the mission.

Dwarf planets are a lot like regular planets. What’s the big difference? Find out in 60 seconds.

In this activity, students learn how light and energy are spread throughout space. The rate of change can be expressed mathematically, demonstrating why spacecraft like NASA’s Juno need so many solar panels.
