In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to figure out how much data a spacecraft collects every day.
Students balance circular and gravitational forces to create a model of an object in orbit.
In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to calculate the shape of an asteroid's orbit.
In this illustrated math problem, students use pi to calculate the position of Earth in orbit as a signal is sent from a spacecraft in deep space.
In this illustrated problem set, students use pi like NASA scientists and engineers working on space communications, and Earth, Moon, and asteroid science.
In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to calculate how far the TESS spacecraft travels as it sends data to Earth.
This board-game activity teaches students the process of design, engineering and technology for a mission to Mars.
Students play a strategy card game that requires them to use problem-solving to successfully explore the Moon and Mars.
