ORIGAMI Frisbee NanoSat In this activity, The Origami Frisbee meets science and mathematics. NASA is investigating new ideas for sending satellites into space. The new technology is based on the flight of a Frisbee. These “Nanosatellites” are smaller and less expensive. Students make their own 8 sided flying “nanosat” disc out of paper. By using the folding techniques of origami students learn different geometric shapes and terms as they explore the latest in space technology. Let’s all go fly a Frisbee! Grade Level 3-4.
Micronaut Moon Phases is a hands-on event that addresses the use of scientific tools to explore moon phases. Students investigate the sun, earth, and moon system. They will model the moon phases.
MICRO ROCKETS
(Grade Level 3-4)
Investigate Newton 's Laws of Motion through the construction and launch of rockets. See how the laws affect what happens to your rocket.
