In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to compare the sizes of Mars landing areas, calculate the length of a year for a distant solar system object, measure the depth of the ocean from an airplane, and determine the diameter of a debris disk.

Students study rocket stability as they design, construct and launch paper rockets using soda straws.

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

Students use NASA images and a hands-on activity to compare the amounts of land and surface water on our planet.

Students kinesthetically model the mathematics of how NASA communicates with spacecraft.

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.

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.

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

Students gather data on a balloon rocket launch, then create a simple graph to show the results of the tests.
