Students use art to describe and recognize the geology on planetary surfaces.

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 will use marshmallows to model the formation of silicates – the family of minerals that make up most of Earth’s crust – then analyze their chemical and physical properties.

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

In this illustrated math problem, students use pi to measure the water depth of an area mapped by the CORAL mission.

Students use NASA images and a hands-on activity to compare the amounts of land and surface water on our planet.

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