In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

In this activity, learners build a nanorover model using styrofoam meat trays and a balloon.

In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.

In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.

In this activity, "space cadets" (learners) use writing and sequencing skills in addition to directional words/ordered pairs to guide Buzz Lightyear (from the movie "Toy Story") through a grid to reac

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this robotics activity, learners drive a remote-controlled car through a course to learn the challenges faced while trying to operate a planetary rover.

In this activity, learners predict whether a ball on Earth or a ball on the Moon bounces higher when dropped and why.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

In this activity, learners measure the diameter of their water balloons, model an impact, measure the diameter of the “crater” area, and determine the ratio of impactor to crater.

Experiment with force and pressure by building a balloon rocket. When launched, the balloon will run a track wherever you place the string.
