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

Jump for the Moon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will train to increase bone strength and to improve heart and other muscle endurance by performing jump training with a rope, both while stationary and moving.

Human-powered Orrery
Source Institutions
In this space science activity, learners work together to create a human-powered orrery to model the movements of the four inner planets.

Base Station Walk-Back
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will train to improve lung, heart, and other muscle endurance as they walk a progressive, measured distance.

Getting There!: Navigation and Trajectory
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

Vestibular-Ocular Reflex
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.

Find Your Way Around Without Visual or Sound Cues
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

Do a Spacewalk!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners train to increase muscular strength and improve upper and lower body coordination by performing the “bear crawl” and the "crab walk.” Learners perform the exercises over tim

Crew Strength Training
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will train to develop upper and lower body strength in their muscles and bones by performing body-weight squats and push-ups.

Pop! Rocket Launcher
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

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.

Particle Detection
Source Institutions
By tossing, collecting, and sorting beanbags, learners understand how the IBEX spacecraft uses its sensors to detect and map the locations of particle types in the interstellar boundary.

Rover Races
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experience some of the challenges of "tele-operating" a robotic vehicle on another planet when they design and execute a series of commands to guide a human "rover" through

Mission: Control!
Source Institutions
In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.

Changing Shadows
Source Institutions
In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.
