Students will compute the approximate travel time to planets in the solar system using different modes of transportation.

In this activity, students use spreadsheet software and their knowledge of scale, proportion and ratios to develop a solar system model that fits on a playground.

Students model the position of the planets around the Sun and then model viewing them from Earth on any given date.

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

Students build rubber-band-powered rockets and launch them at various angles to learn about rocket stability and trajectory.

This visual math problem set gives students a chance to use the mathematical constant pi with some of the real calculations space explorers use every day.

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

Students learn about the phases of the moon by acting them out.

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