Foam Rocket
NASAAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets. Through a controlled investigation, learners will explore rocket stability and the trajectory relationship...
Newton Car
NASAAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion. During a set of experiments,...
Edible Model of the Sun
NASAAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners make "solar cookies," edible models of the Sun's outer layers using sugar cookies and toppings. Learners use red and yellow sprinkles to form the granular...
Heavy Lifting
NASAAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners work in NASA teams to build balloon-powered rockets using identical parts and compete to launch the greatest number of paper clips to "space" (the ceiling). The...
Lava Layering: Making and Mapping a Volcano
NASAAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners discover how geologists use stratigraphy, the study of layered rock, to understand the sequence of geological events. Learners use baking soda, vinegar, and different...
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...
Lift Experiment
NASAAdd to list DetailsIn this experiment, learners investigate how the size of a wing affects lift. Learners count the number of pennies an egg crate plane wing can hold until the plane will no longer fly. Learners...
Airfoils
NASAAdd to list DetailsIn this experiment, learners discover how an airfoil creates lift. Learners use simple materials to build an airfoil and test it at different angles to investigate Bernoulli's principle. This...
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...
