In this standards-aligned unit, students learn about Mars, design a mission to explore the planet, build and test model spacecraft and components, and engage in scientific exploration.

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

In this illustrated math problem, students use pi and physics to calculate how long the Kuiper Belt object Arrokoth takes to orbit the Sun.

In this illustrated math problem, students use pi and data from Mars orbiters to calculate how much of Mars was covered by a giant dust storm.

Students use math to understand why a leap day is inserted into our calendar every four years.

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

In this illustrated problem set, students use the mathematical constant pi to solve real-world science and engineering problems related to craters on Mars, a total solar eclipse, a daring orbit about Saturn, and the search for habitable worlds.

Students put their pi skills to the test to solve some of the same problems NASA scientists and engineers do.

In this illustrated math challenge, students use the mathematical constant pi to calculate how much fuel the Cassini spacecraft consumed after years of orbiting Saturn.
