K-12 Educator Resources

The program enables students to apply proportional reasoning to make decisions and resolve conflicts in realistic air traffic control problems.

LineUp With Math consists of six Problem Sets, enabling students to explore and apply decision-making and proportional reasoning skills to resolve distance-rate-time conflicts in realistic air traffic control problems.

FlyBy Math is a series of five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems, each increasing in complexity, that examines a different distance-rate-time air traffic scenario that an air traffic controller might encounter.

Air traffic control Sector 33 which simulates what an air traffic controller is responsible for to keep the airspace safe. There are a series of problems to complete.

The program is comprised of three, one-hour sessions taught over the course of a week, by NASA Aeronautics experts and volunteers.

Help NASA celebrate our newest X-planes and designs with the activities in the flier.

When you sign up for a flight, your name will be digitized and downloaded onto a storage device that will be carried personally by the pilot on that flight.

Three activities are included that help students understand what happens to the human body in a reduced-pressure and/or near vacuum environment.

Join Orville and the NASA Aeronautics team for some hands-on fun. Create an X-59 snowflake, build a plane, color and draw. Are you going on a trip? Make a travel book and take Orville with you!

A collection of NASA Aeronautics activities for students to learn more about aeronautics concepts from coloring pages, solving puzzles, watching videos and more.

Great for educators at museums, science centers and schools. Museum in a Box provides exciting hands-on lessons with an aeronautics theme to inspire future scientists, mathematicians and engineers.

The High Flyers Alphabet Activity Book introduces basic aeronautics terms. Students can color and practice letter writing, learn new words, solve simple addition problems and more.

Through experimentation and/or demonstration, students will be introduced to shape memory alloys (SMAs) and how they are being tested to save energy usage on aircraft.

Learn all about flight and the X-59 airplane. Follow along with Orville the flying squirrel to become an official NASA junior pilot.

To allow students of all ages and experience levels to build with us! Try your hand at one or all of these activities, available in both English and Spanish.

Download and print coloring sheets to learn about the different types of airplanes NASA has used or is researching for new development.

Hands-on activities for students of all ages, videos, games and puzzles provides an explanation of what sustainability means at NASA Aeronautics.

Provides educators and students with cross-curricular content related to NASA's Quesst mission and the science of sound for students pre-K through 12.

Learn what an X-plane is and how NASA uses X-planes for research. Then roll the dice to find out what features you will need to include on your own X-plane.

Acting as citizen scientists, students use a free mobile app to collect and submit levels of ambient noise.

This series of lithograph PDFs (mini-posters) identifies technology and knowledge made possible by NASA aeronautics researchers during NASA's history.

A variety of stories are available for use in classrooms and beyond. Each story includes reading comprehension support pages, some have associated videos to enhance the learning experience.

Aeronaut-X provides unique opportunities to stimulate STEM engagement and learning experiences for students and educators.

This virtual toolkit is created to help you navigate many of NASA’s resources for a K-12 audience.

Re-live the Wright brothers' inventive process with hands-on activities and games, archives of interactive webcasts/broadcasts, and background information on the Wright brothers.

The K-4 activities in this guide help students learn the basic principles of flight. The end of each chapter has a list of simple interdisciplinary activities for all elementary subjects.

This integrated unit allows students to conduct scientific experiments, construct aircraft models, and read selections and research topics about aviation.

The year is 1900 and you have been appointed by the mysterious "Society" to learn about the flying experiments of Wilbur and Orville Wright!

This two-sided poster highlights key aeronautics research and flight test achievements from 1957 through NASA's 50th anniversary year in 2008.
