Students draw and interpret topographic maps while learning about technology used to map Earth's surface, the seafloor, and other worlds.

In this engineering challenge, students must stay within design limitations while creating a balloon and gondola system that can descend or ascend at a given rate or maintain its altitude.

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!

Students use a visual programming language to create a Mars helicopter exploration game.

Student teams use block coding or python to program the separate components of the Mars Sample Return mission, then combine their projects into an integrated successful mission demonstration.

In this lab activity, students explore how metal reactivity relates to space exploration and spacecraft design.

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.

Students build a model that demonstrates an important contributor to sea-level rise – how water volume increases when the temperature of the water increases.

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.
