Mission to Mars Student Challenge
Get K-12 students exploring Mars with NASA scientists, engineers, and the Perseverance rover as they learn all about STEM and design their very own mission to the Red Planet.
Lesson .
Students study rocket stability as they design, construct and launch paper rockets using soda straws.
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.
Students use satellite data to help determine the greatest renewable energy potentials in any given region and develop graphing skills.
In this video lesson, students learn to design, build and launch paper rockets, calculate how high they fly and improve their designs.
This six-part video series walks educators and students through the ins and outs of crafting a science fair project.
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 design and build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two "astronauts" when they land.
Students learn how scientists assess wildfires using remote sensing and solve related math problems, appropriate for various grade levels.
Students use mobile devices to measure the impact a solar eclipse has on the energy received at Earth’s surface.
In this illustrated math problem, students use the mathematical constant pi to determine the force observed by a hydrogen ion trapped in Earth's magnetic field.
In this illustrated problem set, students use pi to collect samples from an asteroid, fly a helicopter on Mars for the first time, find efficient ways to talk with distant spacecraft, and study the forces behind Earth's beautiful auroras.
Students use simple materials to model a partial, annular, and total solar eclipse.
