In this video lesson, students learn to design, build and launch paper rockets, calculate how high they fly and improve their designs.

Students use rocket manipulatives to help them develop number sense, counting, addition and subtraction skills.

Students use measurement skills to determine the scale distance to space on a map.

In this engineering challenge, students must stay within design limitations while creating a balloon and gondola system that can descend or ascend at a given rate or maintain its altitude.

Students use microcontrollers and temperature sensors to measure the flow of heat through a soil sample.

Explore space and science activities that students can do with NASA at Home, including video tutorials for making rockets, Mars rovers, Moon landers, and more.

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.

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to determine the force observed by a hydrogen ion trapped in Earth's magnetic field.

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to compare signal strength between traditional radio wave communication and the Deep Space Optical Communication system.
