In this lab activity, students explore how metal reactivity relates to space exploration and spacecraft design.

Students model different densities of Jupiter’s moon Europa to investigate what might lie beneath the icy surface.

Students make predictions and observations about how ice will melt in different conditions then compare their predictions to results as they make connections to melting glaciers.

Students explore the science behind an intriguing planetary feature by creating saline solutions and then observing what happens when the solutions evaporate. Now updated with findings from Mars!

Students learn how Mars rovers use spectroscopy to study the chemical composition of rock samples on the Red Planet then model the process in the classroom.

These 60-second videos answer some of the most frequently asked questions about our planetary neighbor, Mars, and the spacecraft that explore it.

This six-part video series walks educators and students through the ins and outs of crafting a science fair project.

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.
