Students balance circular and gravitational forces to create a model of an object in orbit.

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 develop spreadsheet models that describe the relationship between the mass of a spacecraft using electric propulsion, the force acting on the spacecraft, and its acceleration.

Students learn how scientists assess wildfires using remote sensing and solve related math problems, appropriate for various grade levels.

Students use advanced algebra concepts to determine the next opportunity to launch a spacecraft to Mars.

In this illustrated problem set, students use pi like NASA scientists and engineers working on space communications, and Earth, Moon, and asteroid science.

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to calculate the shape of an asteroid's orbit.

In this illustrated math problem, students use pi to calculate the position of Earth in orbit as a signal is sent from a spacecraft in deep space.

In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to figure out how much data a spacecraft collects every day.
