EARTH’S PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE
Planetary Orbits— Student Laboratory Kit
In this hands-on activity, students construct ellipses and then explore the shape of a planet’s orbit as they investigate Kepler’s laws of planetary motion. After analyzing
the results of their investigation, students form an operational definition of an ellipse. Includes complete Teacher Notes and repro- ducible student worksheets. Complete for 30 students working in groups of three.

Earth’s Orbit and Seasons— Demonstration Kit
What causes seasons on Earth? How does Earth’s revolution around the Sun influence the changing of the seasons? Demonstrate and explain the answers to these questions and more with this low-cost, highly visual kit! The Earth model allows students to observe the seasonal changes in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and the variation in day length in different areas of the world throughout the year.

Orbital Speed—Demonstration Kit
Demonstrate orbital speed and centripetal force with this unique handheld device. Students use data collected during the demonstration to calculate the orbital speed of a stopper and discover relationships between gravitational force, orbital radius and orbital speed. A great activity to show that in order for a planet, star or satellite to maintain orbit, the object must travel at a specific speed. Instructions and reproducible student worksheet provided.

IMSA Fusion—Mars: Manifest Destiny
In the Mars: Manifest Destiny STEM curriculum Premium Module Kit, students consider the challenge of planning a permanent, sustainable colony on Mars. Concepts of gravity and orbital mechanics, environmental conditions on Mars and current space-flight are explored. Students participate in citizen science projects, analyze imagery from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, apply engineering design principles for new space-flight hardware and much more. Grades 6–8.
