Cone Zone: A Comprehensive S.T.E.A.M. Activity
Students will design a cone-shaped descent chute for a planetary landing craft to optimize stability and minimize speed in this engaging lesson. This activity lends itself to student scientists of many ages. Young learners will benefit from simply creating the cones and testing their effectiveness. Older students can use spreadsheets that they create to analyze the data on a much more sophisticated level.

What is a Year? (Inner Planet Revolutions)
Scientific Method inquiry about the solar system/space
Students will show the distances of the inner planets from the sun compared to each other. Students will show the revolution of each planet using yarn then hang all 4 pieces next to each other to see the difference in their length. Students will come to the conclusion that planets further away from the sun have longer years because of the distance needed to travel in one revolution. The end product will be a visual of the inner planets' orb
