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 observe the process and results of transpiration from a plant in their schoolyard.

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

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

Students generate maps and physical models of simulated surface features on Jupiter’s moon Europa while learning how spacecraft make maps using radar.

Students use playdough to model how Earth’s crust is bent and folded by tectonic plates over geologic time.

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.
