Engineering in the Classroom
Find out how to make connections between the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the real-world engineering that goes into designing, building, and operating spacecraft.
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.
This board-game activity teaches students the process of design, engineering and technology for a mission to Mars.
Students use the engineering design process to build a structure to handle the greatest load and gain first-hand experience with compression and tension forces.
Students design and test parachute landing systems to successfully land a probe on target.
In this challenge, students will use a model robotic arm to move items from one location to another. They will engage in the engineering design process to design, build and operate the arm.
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.
Using only pasta and glue, students design a rover that will travel down a one-meter ramp and then travel an additional one meter on a smooth, flat surface.
Students learn how waves are used in communication with spacecraft and practice communicating using a similar process.
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.
