Students balance circular and gravitational forces to create a model of an object in orbit.

Students learn how waves are used in communication with spacecraft and practice communicating using a similar process.

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

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

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to find the "habitable zone" around a distant star and determine which of its planets are in that zone.

Students predict and observe what happens when two objects collide to model collisions in space.

Using the fundamental criteria for life, students examine simulated extraterrestrial soil samples for signs of life.

Using only pasta and glue, students design a rover that will travel down a one-meter ramp and then travel an additional one meter on a smooth, flat surface.

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!
