Students use a spreadsheet model to understand droughts and the movement of water in the water cycle.

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

Students predict the scale of our solar system and the distance between planets, then check their answers using fractions.

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

Students draw and interpret topographic maps while learning about technology used to map Earth's surface, the seafloor, and other worlds.

Students create a scale model of the solar system using beads and string.

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.

In this lesson, students build a paper helicopter, then improve the design and compare and measure performance.

In this activity, students learn how light and energy are spread throughout space. The rate of change can be expressed mathematically, demonstrating why spacecraft like NASA’s Juno need so many solar panels.
