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

Students create a scale model of the solar system using beads and string.

Students will compute the approximate travel time to planets in the solar system using different modes of transportation.

Students predict the scale of our solar system and the distance between planets, then check their answers using fractions.

Students model the position of the planets around the Sun and then model viewing them from Earth on any given date.

Using only pasta and glue, students design a rover that will travel down a one-meter ramp and then travel an additional one meter on a smooth, flat surface.

In this lesson, students use their knowledge of moon phases to build a calendar they can use to find out when and where to see each phase of the Moon throughout the year. Calendar for 2022 now available for download!

Students explore the science behind an intriguing planetary feature by creating saline solutions and then observing what happens when the solutions evaporate. Now updated with findings from Mars!

Students explore practical applications of exponents and division to investigate what it takes for NASA spacecraft to travel deep into the solar system using only solar power.
