Students draw and interpret topographic maps while learning about technology used to map Earth's surface, the seafloor, and other worlds.

Students play a strategy card game that requires them to use problem-solving to successfully explore the Moon and Mars. Plus, *NEW* Outer Worlds Expansion Pack now available!

In this lab activity, students explore how metal reactivity relates to space exploration and spacecraft design.

This demonstration uses a water balloon to show how Earth's oceans are absorbing most of the heat being trapped on our warming world.

Students design a robotic insect for an extraterrestrial environment, then compare the process to how NASA engineers design robots for extreme environments like Mars.

Students model different densities of Jupiter’s moon Europa to investigate what might lie beneath the icy surface.

Students explore the relationship between magnetism and electricity to model how scientists determined that Jupiter's moon Europa has a subsurface ocean.

Using the fundamental criteria for life, students examine simulated extraterrestrial soil samples for signs of life.

Students generate maps and physical models of simulated surface features on Jupiter’s moon Europa while learning how spacecraft make maps using radar.
