Celebrate World Space Week with EiE and NASA!

Posted by EiE Team on Wednesday, October 5, 2022

This World Space Week, blast off to the International Space Station with a free download of our Liftoff: Engineering Rockets and Rovers unit. In this unit you and your students will learn about the trade-offs and variables involved in engineering a rocket or space rover as you complete a real-life challenge ideal for students in grades 3-5.

As part of our partnership with NASA, the Liftoff unit features eight 45-minute activities for students to explore and learn about the engineering skills needed to explore planets and moons in our universe.

Take a peek: Jacob is at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory learning how to engineer rovers that can be used to explore faraway worlds. Meanwhile, India is learning about the trade-offs and variables involved in engineering a rocket as she blasts off to the International Space Station. With the Liftoff: Engineering Rockets and Rovers Unit, kids will engineer rockets and rovers to help India and Jacob explore several planets and moons in our solar system.

Download your free copy of Liftoff: Engineering Rockets and Rovers unit today. Plus, explore more of our NASA activities by clicking here!

Coming Soon! A Museum of Science and Roblox experience, Mission: Mars. Discover more about this exciting collaboration at www.mos.org/roblox.
