Students build a spectrometer using basic materials as a model for how NASA uses spectroscopy to determine the nature of elements found on Earth and other planets.

Students modify a paper cup so it can zip down a line and drop a marble onto a target

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

Students learn about surface features on Mars, then use a visual programming language to create a Mars exploration game.

Students develop a model to represent the collision of two black holes, the gravitational waves that result and the waves' propagation through spacetime.

Students learn about cloud types to be able to predict inclement weather. They will then identify areas in the school affected by severe weather and develop a solution to ease the impacts of rain, wind, heat or sun.

Students use satellite data to help determine the greatest renewable energy potentials in any given region and develop graphing skills.

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.
