STEM Space Moon Crater Design Challenge (Engineering Design Process)
Can your team of astronauts work together to land a rover in the center of a crater on the Moon? This engaging STEM challenge is a fun way to incorporate the engineering design process into your classroom or afterschool program! Students use the engineering design process and explore the forces of motion to place a ball in a cup at the center of a 6 foot diameter circle without entering the circle. This challenge represents placing a NASA rover into the middle of the Apollo lunar crater for expl

Gravity & Mass Exploration- Activity: Finding WEIGHT & JUMP distances in space!
HOW DOES GRAVITY AFFECT YOU ON OTHER PLANETS?In this engaging activity, students explore how gravity would affect their weight and how far they could jump on other planets (and the Moon). Students first use their weight (or because weight can be a tricky topic the weight of an astronaut listed) to find out how gravity changes weight on other planets (and the Moon). They then find out how far they can jump on Earth by doing a STANDING BROAD JUMP. With this distance they will determine how far tha
