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

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

In this activity, students use spreadsheet software and their knowledge of scale, proportion and ratios to develop a solar system model that fits on a playground.

Students learn about cloud types to be able to predict inclement weather. They will then identify areas in the school affected by severe weather and develop a solution to ease the impacts of rain, wind, heat or sun.

Students use satellite data to help determine the greatest renewable energy potentials in any given region and develop graphing skills.

In this illustrated problem set, students use the mathematical constant pi to solve real-world science and engineering problems related to craters on Mars, a total solar eclipse, a daring orbit about Saturn, and the search for habitable worlds.

Students use mobile devices to measure the impact a solar eclipse has on the energy received at Earth’s surface.

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 put their pi skills to the test to solve some of the same problems NASA scientists and engineers do.
