In this challenge, students will program a rover to use a color sensor on several rock samples, allowing them to simulate how the Mars Curiosity rover uses its ChemCam instrument to analyze light emitted from geological samples on Mars.

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

What is sea-level rise and how does it affect us? This "Teachable Moment" looks at the science behind sea-level rise and offers lessons and tools for teaching students about this important climate topic.

Students join teenager Hannah on a trip through the solar system in this stellar musical about the planets, moons, asteroids and space.

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

Using real data from NASA’s GRACE satellites, students will track water mass changes in the U.S.

Students learn about scale models and distance by creating a classroom-size Earth-Moon system.

In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to determine the size of a Mars dust storm, estimate the water content of a rain cloud, gauge how much Jupiter's Great Red Spot has shrunk and calculate the strength of a laser used to explode ice samples.

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.
