Students gain first-hand experience with the Doppler effect and how it's used by NASA’s Deep Space Network.

Students explore different types of space missions and observation techniques that scientists use to study distant objects like asteroids.

Students use simple materials to model a partial, annular, and total solar eclipse.

Lead a discussion about asteroids and their physical properties, then have students mold their own asteroids out of clay.

Students use art to describe and recognize the geology on planetary surfaces – now including Mars and asteroids.

Students develop spreadsheet models that describe the relationship between the mass of a spacecraft using electric propulsion, the force acting on the spacecraft, and its acceleration.

Students play a strategy card game that requires them to use problem-solving to successfully explore the Moon and Mars. Plus, *NEW* Outer Worlds Expansion Pack now available!

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 illustrated problem set, students use pi to calculate the size of a Mars rock sample, compare the mirrors of two space telescopes, deduce an asteroid's makeup, and size up a solar eclipse.
