Students explore different types of space missions and observation techniques that scientists use to study distant objects like asteroids.

In this activity, students will use sea-level rise data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends. They will then determine whether sea-level rise is occurring based on the data.

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

Students explore the relationship between magnetism and electricity to model how scientists determined that Jupiter's moon Europa has a subsurface ocean.

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

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 decide what they want to learn from a robotic mission to Mars and what tools they will put on their robot to accomplish their goals.

In this standards-aligned unit, students learn about Mars, design a mission to explore the planet, build and test model spacecraft and components, and engage in scientific exploration.
