Make a Balloon-powered Nanorover! | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
Use the rubber band to attach the balloon securely to the end nearest the bend in the straw.

18.
Tape the long part of the straw to the bottom of the nanorover, crosswise to the wheel axles. Tape the short end with the balloon against the front (or back—it makes no difference) of the nanorover.

19.
Color the top "decal" to look like solar cells (dark blue) or any color you like. Tape the decal to the top. You can make "double-sticky" tape loops for this job so the tape doesn't show on the decal.

20.
Tape the camera lens decal to the back or front of the rover. (On the real rover, it is on the front; on your rover, you might imagine the balloon, which is on the front, might get in the way of the camera!). Use a small double-sticky tape loop for this job too.

21.
Straighten out half the large paper clip. Poke it through a blob of clay or a gum drop, then through the circle on the top to make an antenna.

22.
Blow up the balloon through the straw, put your finger over the end of the straw, set the nanorover on the floor or a clear table and let it go. You may find that the nanorover goes better on a smooth, hard surface, than on carpeting.

Your nanorover won't go very fast, but it still goes faster than the real one!

The Real Asteroid Rover

The nanorover was designed for the very low gravity of a small asteroid. Although tiny, it was not a toy. It was really hi-tech and complex!
	
	The nanorover wheels were attached to struts—kind of like our toy nanorover, except that each wheel of the real nanorover operated independently, rather than in pairs. Why do you suppose it was designed this way?
	Well, gravity can be a wonderful thing. We take it for granted here on Earth.

Make a pinwheel galaxy pinwheel! The Pinwheel Galaxy is a spiral-shaped galaxy about 21 million light years away from Earth. Scientists call this swirling galaxy M101. You can find it in the constellation Ursa Major, or the "Big Dipper," in the Northern Hemisphere. With a nice, dark sky, you can see it with binoculars or a small telescope. For those of us who can't see it in the night sky, we can have the next best thing: a Pinwheel Galaxy pinwheel!

Educator Guide: Moon Mappers: A ‘Pi in the Sky’ Math Challenge | NASA/JPL Edu
Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech | > Full image and caption Moon MappersThe CADRE project aims to land a team of mini rovers on the Moon in 2025 as a test of new exploration technology. Three suitcase-size rovers, each working mostly autonomously, will communicate with each other and a base station on their lunar lander to simultaneously measure data from different locations. If successful, the project could open the door for future multi-robot exploration missions. In Moon Mappers, students explore the Moon with pi by determining how far a CADRE rover drives on the Moon’s surface. Teachable Moments A Prime Year for NASA's Pi Day Challenge Learn more about about pi, the history of Pi Day, and the science behind the 2024 NASA Pi Day Challenge. ProceduresMoon MappersNASA’s CADRE project is made up of a network of three small rovers. The rovers are designed to work together to create a 3D map of a scientifically intriguing area of the Moon's surface known as Reiner Gamma. Communicating with each other and a base station aboard a lunar lander, the rovers will be largely autonomous, making decisions and acting without the need for constant human intervention. Each suitcase-size rover has a field of view that is about π/2 radians wide, and its sensors can accurately map as far as 2 meters ahead. Assuming the rovers drive in a “lawnmower” pattern, how far does each rover have to drive to survey its portion of a 20 m x 20 m square of the Moon’s surface?› Learn more about the CADRE project Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech | + Expand imageAssessment Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech | + Expand image› Download text-only answer key (Google Docs)ExtensionsParticipateJoin the conversation and share your Pi Day Challenge answers with @NASAJPL_Edu on social media using the hashtag #NASAPiDayChallenge Pi in the Sky Lessons Here's everything you need to bring the NASA Pi Day Challenge into the classroom.

Make a Planet Mask!

Watch this video to learn how to make a planet mask!

Our solar system has eight very different and very special planets. Which one is farthest from the sun? Which one has the most moons? Find the answers to these questions and make a cool wearable planet mask with this fun activity!

What you need:

Printout of planet mask activity (pages 1 and 2)
Scissors
Tape

 Caution!
Be very careful when using scissors.
Adult scissors (i.e. scissors with a sharpened edge) should not be used by children under the age of 10 without adult supervision.

What to do:

Use scissors to cut out planet shape (page 1 of printout) on the dotted line. Be sure to save the fun facts at the bottom of the page.

Use scissors to cut out the mask's eye holes on the dotted lines.

Cut out 3 strips of paper (page 2 of printout) on the dotted lines.

Tape the ends of the paper strips together to make one long paper strip.

Wrap the long paper strip around your head until you have a snug fit. The strip should form a ring around your head. Tape the ends of the paper strip so that the ring will stay the right size. Note: be careful not to get tape stuck in your hair! If you can, find a friend to help you with this step.

Take the paper ring off of your head. Tape the ring to the back of the planet cutout near the center and top of the planet.

Place the paper ring on top of your head and see the world through a planet's eyes! And while you're pretending to be a planet, be sure to tell your friends some fun facts about yourself. (You'll find a few on page 1 of the activity.)

Make a Galactic Mobile | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
Make pencil marks on the bottom of the cardboard circle where you will be attaching each galaxy. For a 12-inch mobile, you could put eight evenly spaced around the edges and four evenly spaced in the center area. For a smaller mobile, you could put six around the edges and three in the center.
For each galaxy:
Cut a length of thread and thread the needle. Tie a knot, sequin, or bead to the end. Draw the needle through the center of the galaxy. Now poke the needle through one of the marks on the circle. Adjust the length of the thread so the galaxy hangs nicely, then cut the thread and tie a knot, sequin, or bead in the end.

Make the galaxies hang at different levels, so they can turn freely without hitting each other.
Hang your Galactic Mobile from the ceiling. Notice that you can adjust the thread going through the button to make the circle hang level.
Listen to the "Oh's" and "Ah's."

What is a galaxy?
A galaxy is a grouping of stars. All but a few stars in the universe live in galaxies. Our Sun is just one of at least 200 billion stars in our own Milky Way Galaxy.

A galaxy is a grouping of stars. All but a few stars in the universe live in galaxies.

With our best telescopes, we can look deep into space and see billions of galaxies. Galaxies come in all different shapes. Some are spiral shaped like our own Milky Way. Some are like a circle or a flattened circle. Others seem to have no particular shape at all.

How did the galaxies get to be such a variety of shapes?
Well, we don't know. But with the Galaxy Evolution Explorer spacecraft, or GALEX, we learned a lot about stars and galaxies.
GALEX was launched into orbit around Earth on April 28, 2003. It used advanced instruments to peer outward, deep into the universe. It collected data that is helping astronomers piece together the story of how stars and galaxies are formed and how they change over billions of years.
