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

This white-board animation video series explains key concepts about Earth science, missions and climate change.

Students build a model that demonstrates an important contributor to sea-level rise – how water volume increases when the temperature of the water increases.

Students learn the difference between land ice and sea ice and make a model to see how the melting of each impacts global sea level.

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

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 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 use a spreadsheet model to understand droughts and the movement of water in the water cycle.
