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

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

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

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.

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to find the "habitable zone" around a distant star and determine which of its planets are in that zone.

In this illustrated math problem, students use pi and physics to calculate how long the Kuiper Belt object Arrokoth takes to orbit the Sun.

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.
