This visual math problem set gives students a chance to use the mathematical constant pi with some of the real calculations space explorers use every day.

Students learn about Saturn's scientifically intriguing moon Enceladus and investigate its fascinating features, including its ocean and plumes, using math.

Students use mobile devices and computers to learn about remote sensing and satellite data to determine when and where wildfires have started.

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.

Whip up a moon-like crater with baking ingredients as a demonstration for students.

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

Students kinesthetically model the mathematics of how NASA communicates with spacecraft.

Students identify the Moon’s location in the sky and record their observations over the course of the moon-phase cycle in a journal.

Students use the mathematical constant pi to determine what fraction of a signal from Voyager 1 – the most distant spacecraft – reaches Earth.
