Students put their pi skills to the test to solve some of the same problems NASA scientists and engineers do.

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

In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to reveal the size of a planet outside our solar system, find out how much helium is raining out from Jupiter's cloud tops, locate a seismic event on Mars and study an interstellar object detected in our so

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to identify the timing and location of a seismic event on Mars, called a "marsquake."

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

Students use math concepts related to transits to discover real-world data about Mercury, Venus and planets outside our solar system.

Students develop spreadsheet models that describe the relationship between the mass of a spacecraft, the force acting on the craft, and its acceleration.

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.
