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

Students learn how waves are used in communication with spacecraft and practice communicating using a similar process.

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 use satellite data to help determine the greatest renewable energy potentials in any given region and develop graphing skills.

Students design and build a solar hot water heater and see how big a temperature change they can get.

This six-part video series walks educators and students through the ins and outs of crafting a science fair project.

Students use mobile devices to measure the impact a solar eclipse has on the energy received at Earth’s surface.

Students build a rubber-band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

In this activity, students learn how light and energy are spread throughout space. The rate of change can be expressed mathematically, demonstrating why spacecraft like NASA’s Juno need so many solar panels.
