In this activity, learners discover how geologists use stratigraphy, the study of layered rock, to understand the sequence of geological events.

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 discuss how life is defined and conduct a simple experiment, looking for signs of life in three different “soil” samples.

In this activity, learners create volcanoes like those they have examined on Earth and Mars through images taken by spacecraft.

In this activity, learners create channel features with flowing water, comparing their observations to real images of Mars and Earth taken by satellites/orbiters.

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

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