Learners recreate the classic egg-drop experiment with an analogy to the Mars rover landing. The concept of terminal velocity will be introduced, and learners perform several velocity calculations.

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

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.

In this activity, learners use plastic water bottles, wood, and water to build an inexpensive and portable tool to demonstrate one atmosphere of pressure at sea level.

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

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