This board-game activity teaches students the process of design, engineering and technology for a mission to Mars.

Youth imagine themselves as a spacecraft and write a fictional story, poem or song about their journey.

Students learn how Mars rovers use spectroscopy to study the chemical composition of rock samples on the Red Planet then model the process in the classroom.

Students generate maps and physical models of simulated surface features on Jupiter’s moon Europa while learning how spacecraft make maps using radar.

Students observe the process and results of transpiration from a plant in their schoolyard.

Students explore the relationship between magnetism and electricity to model how scientists determined that Jupiter's moon Europa has a subsurface ocean.

In this illustrated math problem, students use pi to measure the water depth of an area mapped by the CORAL mission.

In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to compare the sizes of Mars landing areas, calculate the length of a year for a distant solar system object, measure the depth of the ocean from an airplane, and determine the diameter of a debris disk.

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