Space Rocks!: A Meteorite Game
NASAAdd to list DetailsIn this board game, learners explore the origins of meteors, meteoroids, and meteorites as well as the their characteristics and importance. They also discover some misconceptions about meteors....
Exploring Ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun
NASAAdd to list DetailsIn this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays. Learners use "detectors" (UV beads) at five different stations,...
FlyBy Math: Distance-Rate-Time Problems in Air Traffic Control
NASAAdd to list DetailsIn this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems. Learners examine different distance...
Rocket Wind Tunnel
NASAAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel. Learners measure the rocket's resistance to the flow of air in the tunnel and use the...
Jet Propulsion
NASAAdd to list DetailsIn this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine. During the first part of the lesson, learners visit three stations: Combustion, Compression,...
Make a Balloon-powered Nanorover
NASAAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners build a nanorover model using styrofoam meat trays and a balloon. This activity includes information about the MUSES-CN nanorover and the need for a very small rover to...
Geometry and Algebra: The Future Flight Equation
NASAAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft. Learners will use geometry and algebra to design, construct, and test an experimental wing to achieve maximum...
