In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to compare the sizes of Mars landing areas, calculate the length of a year for one of the most distant objects in the solar system, measure the depth of the ocean from an airplane, and determine the diamete

In this illustrated math problem, students use pi to compare the size of the landing zones for the Mars rovers Curiosity and Perseverance.

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

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

Students modify a paper cup so it can zip down a line and drop a marble onto a target

In this board-game lesson, students learn basic computer programming skills by playing the roles of a Mars rover, scientist and engineer to make exploration decisions and accomplish science goals.

Students use advanced algebra concepts to determine the next opportunity to launch a spacecraft to Mars.
