Frequently Bought Together
From Gravity to Mars in Three Activities
Parachute Engineering and Gravity
Students build parachutes, test drop times, practice measurement conversions, and analyze how surface area and weight affect descent rate, connecting gravity to real engineering variables.
Lunar Phase Modeling
Students use Styrofoam balls and a light source to model how the Moon appears to change shape throughout its cycle, building spatial reasoning and understanding of Earth-Moon-Sun relationships.
Mars Landing Challenge
Inspired by NASA missions, students design and build a container that can safely land materials on a simulated Mars surface, applying the engineering design process to a real-world space exploration problem.
Measurement Integration
Every activity requires students to measure, convert between units, collect data, and use math to support their engineering decisions, reinforcing standards-aligned math skills in a science context.
What Students Will Do
- Build and test parachutes to investigate gravity and air resistance
- Practice measurement conversions using real experimental data
- Model lunar phases with physical materials and a light source
- Identify patterns in the Moon's appearance throughout its cycle
- Design a container to safely land materials on simulated Mars
- Apply the engineering design process to solve a NASA-inspired challenge

Why Teachers Love Space Grades 5-6 Activity Bundle
NASA-Inspired Challenge
The Mars landing activity connects classroom learning to real space exploration, giving students a mission context that drives engagement and purpose.
Math and Science Together
Measurement conversions, data collection, and pattern recognition are embedded in every activity, serving both science and math standards simultaneously.
Engineering Design Process
Students don't just learn about space—they design, build, test, and improve real solutions, developing the engineering habits of mind that transfer across all STEM subjects.
Physical Models Build Understanding
Lunar phase modeling and parachute testing give students tangible experiences with abstract concepts that are difficult to teach from a textbook alone.
Serves 10-12 Students
One bundle provides all specialized materials for a full small group, making it easy to plan and budget for your class.
Complete Materials Included
All specialized supplies ship in the box. Teachers only need common classroom items like scissors, glue, and a lamp.
