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.

In this lesson, students use their knowledge of moon phases to build a calendar they can use to find out when and where to see each phase of the Moon throughout the year.

This white-board animation video series explains key concepts about Earth science, missions and climate change.

Students build a model that demonstrates an important contributor to sea-level rise – how water volume increases when the temperature of the water increases.

Students learn the difference between land ice and sea ice and make a model to see how the melting of each impacts global sea level.

Students will use marshmallows to model the formation of silicates – the family of minerals that make up most of Earth’s crust – then analyze their chemical and physical properties.

In this lesson, students will use stoichiometry just like NASA scientists in order to equip space missions with breathable air for our astronauts.

Students design a robotic insect for an extraterrestrial environment, then compare the process to how NASA engineers design robots for extreme environments like Mars.

Quickly and easily model how colors reflect, absorb, and interact with each other in the classroom or online using your computer’s camera.
