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

In this activity, students will use sea-level rise data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends. They will then determine whether sea-level rise is occurring based on the data.

Students use global temperature data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends.

Students learn how scientists assess wildfires using remote sensing and solve related math problems, appropriate for various grade levels.

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

Students use the mathematical constant pi to measure the approximate size of the shadow that will fall on Earth during a total solar eclipse.

Students explore practical applications of exponents and division to investigate how NASA's Juno spacecraft became the most distant solar-powered spacecraft ever.

Students will use the engineering design process to design, build, test and improve a model satellite intended to investigate the surface of a planet.

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