MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.

In this two part activity, learners work in pairs or individually to discover how vectoring the thrust from a jet engine affects movement of an airplane.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

In this activity, learners discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.

In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

In this team design challenge (page 11-18 of PDF), learners design and build a Landing Pod for a model Lunar Rover (previously built in activity on page 1-10 of PDF).

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.
