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

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 it's ChemCam instrument to analyze light emitted from geological samples on Mars.

This board-game activity teaches students the process of design, engineering and technology for a mission to Mars.

In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to determine the size of a Mars dust storm, estimate the water content of a rain cloud, gauge how much Jupiter's Great Red Spot has shrunk and calculate the strength of a laser used to explode ice samples.

In this illustrated math problem, students use pi to calculate how much water could be contained within a cloud.

Students perform a simple science experiment to learn how a rocket works and demonstrate Newton’s third law of motion.

Students will design, build and test a crew exploration vehicle, or CEV, to carry astronauts to Mars – meeting size, mass and payload requirements.

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.

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