Lesson .
Students design and build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two "astronauts" when they land.
Students play a strategy card game that requires them to use problem-solving to successfully explore the Moon and Mars.
Students use simple supplies to model how NASA tracks the location of spacecraft from Earth.
Students construct balloon-powered rockets to launch the greatest payload possible to the classroom ceiling.
Student Project .
In this strategy card game, you'll build spacecraft that can explore the Moon, Mars, and other destinations throughout our solar system while withstanding challenges thrown your way.
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.
Teachable Moment .
Learn about pi and some of the ways the number is used at NASA. Then, dig into the science behind the 2022 Pi Day Challenge.
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.
Modify a paper-cup spacecraft so it can zip down a line and drop a "lander" onto a target.
Explore the incredible history of the Apollo missions and find out what's in store for NASA's next mission to the Moon.
Students use rocket manipulatives to help them develop number sense, counting, addition and subtraction skills.
Students design, build and program a robotic “super crawler” to transport a payload from a starting position to a target launch pad, deliver the payload in an upright position and return the robot to the starting point.
