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

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

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

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 will compute the approximate travel time to planets in the solar system using different modes of transportation.

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.

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.
