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

In this lesson, students use their knowledge of moon phases to build a calendar they can use to find out when and where to see each phase of the Moon throughout the year. Calendar for 2023 now available for download!

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 will compute the approximate travel time to planets in the solar system using different modes of transportation.

Students explore practical applications of exponents and division to investigate what it takes for NASA spacecraft to travel deep into the solar system using only solar power.

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.

In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to detect frost in lunar craters, determine the density of Mars' liquid core, calculate the powered output from a dam, and find out how far a spacecraft travels as it returns data to Earth.

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to calculate the area covered by a laser used to detect frost on the Moon's surface.
