Students use measurement skills to determine the scale distance to space on a map.

In this engineering challenge, students must stay within design limitations while creating a balloon and gondola system that can descend or ascend at a given rate or maintain its altitude.

Students learn about and model weather patterns that make Antarctica ideal for scientific balloon exploration.

Student teams use the engineering design process and everyday materials to design an insulator that will keep a small amount of water from rapidly changing temperature.

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

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

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

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!

Students learn about Earth processes by simulating and examining lava flows from a volcano model made of play dough.
