Students design and test parachute landing systems to successfully land a probe on target.

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.

In this video lesson, students learn to design, build and launch paper rockets, calculate how high they fly and improve their designs.

Take a walk in a solar system model to experience its vast size.

Students use measurement skills to determine the scale distance to space on a map.

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.

Students learn about and model weather patterns that make Antarctica ideal for scientific balloon exploration.

Students model different densities of Jupiter’s moon Europa to investigate what might lie beneath the icy surface.

Students learn about Earth processes by simulating and examining lava flows from a volcano model made of play dough.
