Lava Layering: Making and Mapping a Volcano
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how geologists use stratigraphy, the study of layered rock, to understand the sequence of geological events.

Edible Model of the Sun
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make "solar cookies," edible models of the Sun's outer layers using sugar cookies and toppings.

Achieving Orbit
Source Institutions
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

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

Newton Car
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

Roving on the Moon
Add to list DetailsIn this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

The Parachuting Egg
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.

Rocket Wind Tunnel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

FlyBy Math: Distance-Rate-Time Problems in Air Traffic Control
Source Institutions
In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

Make a Comet Model and Eat It!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

Foam Rocket
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.

Balloon Staging
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate a multistage rocket launch using party balloons, fishing line, straws, and a plastic cup.
