Students explore satellite data. In this technology cross-curriculum math and world geography lesson, students locate specific map areas using a microset of satellite data. Students use technology and math skills to determine percentages...

Students use a NASA website to use a given formula to find acceleration and distance after a specific time and how it relates to engine propulsion.

Astronomers practice downloading data from a high-energy satellite and translate the data into colored or shaded pixels. As a hands-on activity, they use pennies to simulate high-energy satellite data and they convert their penny...

A lengthy narrative about Pythagoras and his students precedes an activity in which your young mathematicians practice using the Pythagorean theorem to solve three problems about flight and distance. Answers are provided. 

Aspiring astronomers study stars. They compare stars and explain the relationship between radius, mass, and diameter. By creating a star simulation, they discover how a binary star system's orbit can cause changes in the observed...

Mathematicians participate in an hands-on activity to investigate the binary number system and write messages in binary code and have classmates decipher the messages. A said video on the topic does not seem to be available, but the...

Students explore the countdown sequence for a rocket launch. They watch a video of a rocket launch, discuss the significance of the countdown sequence, and place ten paper rockets in the proper sequence.

Young scientists build on their previous knowledge and apply it to coronal mass ejections. By plotting the path of two different coronal mass ejections, they develop an understanding of why most don't collide with Earth.

Where can you see an aurora in North America? After completing an astronomy activity, scholars can locate the exact coordinates. Pupils plot points of the inner and outer ring of the auroral oval and answer questions based on...

Come take a ride on the space bus! Scholars go on an imaginary trip to pick up their peers from the inner and outer planets while reinforcing math skills. First, learners round decimals to identify each planets' distance from Earth....

Students use rhymes, chants, songs, and creative movement about rockets to demonstrate words that rhyme. They place sentence strips in order, and identify words that rhyme.

Students identify uppercase letters. They practice putting them in the correct order and writing them. They use rockets to capitalize the letters.

Students practice completing number sentences. They cut out shapes of rockets and place a number on them. They work together to identify the numbers.

Students investigate science and math by building a rocket. In this geometry instructional activity, students build a rocket using paper towel tubes while investigating questions about launching a rocket. They discuss balance and unique...

Learners are introduced to the the formula for calculating travel time. They listen to different scenarios relating to long distance travel into space and calculate travel time using the formula.

Students create and launch their own paper rockets. They complete graphs to show distances. They discuss what modifications could be made to make it go further.

Students cut out and color their own rocket. They use clues in relation to numbers and words to find hidden rockets. They ask each other questions to determine the exact location.

High schoolers examine images of Mars' surface features to identify landforms and the geological processes that created them. Students listen to information about Mars presented by the teacher, then analyze labeled pictures of Mars'...

Students test their knowledge of the Wright Brothers and their aircraft, and compute ratio of two numbers to determine the ratio between wing span and length of aircraft.

Sixth graders examine the concept of compounding interest on invested money. They explore how much interest their money would earn through compounded interest. Students conclude that they should invest early and often.
