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.

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.

Students will learn about the expanding universe and the redshift of lightwaves, then perform their own calculations with a distant supernova.

In this activity, students use spreadsheet software and their knowledge of scale, proportion and ratios to develop a solar system model that fits on a playground.

Students use math concepts related to transits to discover real-world data about Mercury, Venus and planets outside our solar system.

Students put their pi skills to the test to solve some of the same problems NASA scientists and engineers do.
