Students learn about and model weather patterns that make Antarctica ideal for scientific balloon exploration.
Students use satellite data to help determine the greatest renewable energy potentials in any given region and develop graphing skills.
Students use global temperature data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends.
Students use real data from the Perseverance Mars rover to create a system that can monitor and test the MOXIE instrument.
In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to determine how quickly the Ingenuity helicopter's blades must rotate in order for it to fly.
In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to collect samples from an asteroid, fly a helicopter on Mars for the first time, find efficient ways to talk with distant spacecraft, and study the forces behind Earth's beautiful auroras.

What's changing Earth's climate? And how has it changed over time?
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.
In this engineering challenge, students must stay within design limitations while creating a balloon and gondola system that can descend or ascend at a given rate or maintain its altitude.
This board-game activity teaches students the process of design, engineering and technology for a mission to Mars.
Students learn to describe rocks using candy bars as familiar models.
Why is Earth getting hotter and what does that mean for us?
Students use global carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration data since to plot major life milestones of themselves, their parents, and grandparents along a curve.
Students work in teams employing an iterative design process to design and build a water filtration device using commonly available materials.
Students learn how waves are used in communication with spacecraft and practice communicating using a similar process.
