Students gather data on a balloon rocket launch, then create a simple graph to show the results of the tests.

Students perform a simple science experiment to learn how a rocket works and demonstrate Newton’s third law of motion.

Students will design, build and test a crew exploration vehicle, or CEV, to carry astronauts to Mars – meeting size, mass and payload requirements.

Students will learn about the structure of the solar system and be able to identify analogous regions in a dynamic, 2-D kitchen-sink model.

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 use tangrams to create rockets while practicing shape recognition.

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

Students use satellite and rover images to learn about the various features and materials that cause color variation on the surface of Mars, then create their own “Marscape.”

Students try to determine the interior makeup of an egg (hard-boiled or raw) based on their understanding of center of mass and Newton’s first law of motion.
