Lesson .
Students work in teams employing an iterative design process to design and build a water filtration device using commonly available materials.
Student teams use the engineering design process and everyday materials to design an insulator that will keep a small amount of water from rapidly changing temperature.
Students design and build a solar hot water heater and see how big a temperature change they can get.
In this illustrated math problem, students use pi to measure the water depth of an area mapped by the CORAL mission.

How does measuring Earth's gravity show us where water is and where it's going?
Find out why scientists think Jupiter's moon Europa might have twice as much water as Earth!
Students imagine and draw an alien that can survive with traits and environmental conditions that scientists look for in the search for life beyond Earth.
Students play a strategy card game that requires them to use problem-solving to successfully explore the Moon and Mars.
How does studying wind help scientists predict weather patterns?
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.
How can studying the soil beneath your feet help predict flash floods, grow more crops, and plan for drought?
This demonstration uses a water balloon to show how Earth's oceans are absorbing most of the heat being trapped on our warming world.
What happens when Earth has too many greenhouse gases floating around?
Teachable Moment .
Explore how and why the SWOT mission will take stock of Earth's water budget, what it could mean for assessing climate change, and how to bring it all to students.
