This detailed lesson plan provides six different activities to enhance student knowledge about clouds. Also find links to educator guides about other space topics. Includes PDF (requires Adobe Reader).

Learn how Newton's Laws apply to rocketry. Discover how rockets work, including the engines and propellants.

This instructional activity has students make water propelled engines using pop drink cans. Students will test the effectiveness of the engines and determine anything that affects the action.

This activity gives directions for students to construct small, paper rockets that can be launched inside. The students will determine how stable the rocket is and launch them by blowing air through a straw.

This lesson gives students direction on how to experiment using gravity and force. Students will make a wooden car and use different forces to make the car propel.

This lesson allows students to construct a rocket launcher that can be used for several different types of rockets. This rocket launcher is propelled by students stomping on a two liter bottle to provide force.

This lesson plan allows students to make a rocket with card stock paper. Students will be able to launch the rocket and then discuss the variables affecting the height of each launch.

This lesson plan shows students how to construct a rocket using pipe insulating foam. Students will investigate the relationship between launch angle and range when launching their rockets powered by rubber bands.

This lesson plan allows student to make a launch altitude tracker. Student will use a sighting tube and angle measurements to track the altitude of rockets that are launched.

This lesson's objective is to construct a rocket wind tunnel and have student predict the performance of their rocket. Students will use this rocket wind tunnel to measure and modify parts of the rocket to make it fly higher.

Follow the directions in the lesson plan to construct a water rocket launcher made from off the shelf hardware and wood.

This lesson has learners examine different land to determine whether settlement is affected by an area's location, soil, and weather.

The objective of this lesson is for students to learn the location of water and the importance of water to life. Students will learn about osmosis, soil samples, salinity, and more.

This lesson allows students to build their own paper gliders and change characteristics of the glider to make it fly easier.

This video [12:28] shows how Newton's law of motion relates to the drag of an airplane. Watch as an instructor shows how the molecules colliding with the airplane create drag.

This educators guide shows students how the body's brain, spinal cord and network of nerves control the activities of animals and humans.

This educator guide provides teachers with an outline for the entire Moon Munchies unit. Students will be able to design and build a lunar plant growth chamber using the Engineering Design Process.

"Which color, black or white, reflect energy?" "Which color absorbs energy better?" Through this activity, students will find the answers to these questions, and they will then be able to relate their findings to the construction of...

These activities introduce students to the International Space Station and how rockets were vital to its construction. The provided lessons correlate to all subject areas.

This educator's guide provides teachers with activities to teach students about food during spaceflights. Students will learn about types of food astronauts take on space missions and why these foods are the most suitable for space.

Teachers can use this guide to encourage students to make science scrapbooks. Includes many examples and an activity guide.

This classroom activity teaches students to work in groups to design and build a thermal protection system simulating one on a space vehicle. Provides background information, lesson plans, and assessment questions.

This educator guide provides students with a challenge to design, build, and test a water filtration system, simulating what is used in a spacecraft. Includes background information, lesson plans, and extension activities.

This guide provides students the opportunity to simulate working at an aerospace company. Activities include designing a lunar lander and robot, building spacecraft, and much more.
