"Students are required to design a vehicle that addresses a series of engineering problems that are similar to problems faced by the original Moonbuggy team. Each Moonbuggy will be human powered and carry two students, one female and one male, over a half-mile simulated lunar terrain course including "craters", rocks, "lava" ridges, inclines and "lunar" soil."

"The Remote Mars Yard (ReMY) - space technology just one click away. ReMY is an education-scoped project originating from Polish student analog Mars rovers - the winners of Mars Society's University Rover Challenge in Utah (Magma rover - 3rd at URC 2010, Magma2 rover - 1st at URC 2011 and Copernicus rover - 6th at URC 2011). The URC Mars analog rovers are full hardware simulators of real Mars rovers, capable of performing various scientific, exploration and engineering tasks in desert environments, such as Utah desert or artificial Mars terrain."

"General Science Apps Laboratory Timer free app for counting up and counting down with an alarm Convert - the unit calculator for converting between at least 15 types of measurement (mass, angles, length....) Experience Maths and Science with Gizmos - 450 on-line interactive simulations for year 3 to 12."

Spaced Out Sports Educator Guide -- Grades 5-8 Students learn the science of sports with the activities in this educator guide. The activities are applications of Newton's Laws of Motion. Among the guide's six activities students will do the following: -- Construct a CD hovercraft and apply Newton's Laws of Motion to make hovercraft work. -- Use gravity to locate the center of mass of irregular-shaped objects. -- Investigate the principle of conserving angular momentum. -- Create and play simulated microgravity sports with a balloon.

"At Camp Kennedy Space Center (KSC), young people experience, imagine and interact through space shuttle mission simulations, tours of Kennedy Space Center and the chance to witness first hand the everyday challenges faced by astronauts. It all adds up to an inspiring week of fun and enriching space activities. "

"The Space Foundation Discovery Institute in Colorado Springs, Colo., is the headquarters for the Space Foundation's education team, an education destination for students and a professional development center that provides space-themed training and support for teachers from around the world. It serves as the base for our education programs, and houses classrooms, the AGI Space Missions Simulator, a Mars Yard and a NASA Educator Resource Center."

"toys taught children early lessons in physics, problem solving, and critical thinking. But never fear - there's an app for that! Simple Physics allows these lessons to be brought back into play, by using technology to simulate hands-on experiences."

"The Titan Missile Museum is the only publicly accessible Titan II missile site in the nation. Tour the underground missile site. See the 3-ton blast doors, the 8-foot thick silo walls, and an actual Titan II missile in the launch duct. Visit the launch control center, experience a simulated launch"

NROC's Developmental Math-An Open Program is designed for students striving to meet college entrance requirements. The program offers video, audio, interactive simulations, puzzles, and other instructional approaches that engage a variety of learning styles and attitudes as learners work to close proficiency gaps.

"Swiss scientists have for the first time succeeded in realistically simulating how an oceanic plate sinks of its own accord under an adjacent plate. At the same time they showed why only one of the plates rather than both subducts into the Earth's mantle, and how this process affects the dynamics of the Earth's interior."

first real flight experience in this extensive introduction to the aviation industry. Participants receive ground training in our campus facilities, fly in our new C-172 Simulator, and pilot a C-172S aircraft. All flight training is conducted by certified university flight instructors. Participants in this program must be U.S. citizens ages 14-18.

Learn about aerodynamics and related physics laws. Includes tutorials, presentations, interactive simulations, and experiments. There are also links to eThemes Resources on Aerodynamics, Science: Rockets, and Aviation: Wright Brothers.

Aviation: Wright Brothers - These sites are about the Wright Brothers and their early airplanes. Includes biographies on Wilbur and Orville that tell about their family and careers. Discover what inspired them to build planes. Contains historical photographs, movies, diaries, interviews, and simulations."

LESSON PLANS - A library of fun science experiments to help students understand how the Wrights developed the first powered aircraft. WIND TUNNEL TESTS In 1901, the Wright Brothers conducted wind tunnel tests that helped them learn about lift. With NASA's help, we'll recreate some of those tests. Follow along! COMPUTER SIMULATIONS We're using computers to analyze the Wrights' early wing designs and the 1903 Wright Flyer. What will we learn?

In the second part of his four-part series, civilian public affairs officer David Elias is about to witness how Canadian Forces crews conduct search and rescue (SAR) exercises. He is boarding a CC-130 Hercules from 435 Transport and Rescue Squadron, 17 Wing Winnipeg, Man aircraft departing for a simulated SAR response above Lake Superior. He's never flown in an aircraft cockpit before, much less a cool military cockpit.

Tim wasn't supposed to be a comedian. A biologist by training, he graduated magna cum laude from UC San Diego with honors in biology. He went on to complete his PhD at UC Davis. He spent years developing simulation and analytical models of population dynamics

"Serving 400,000 students each year, the national network of 48 Challenger Learning Centers takes students on simulated space missions into Earth orbit, to the Moon, Mars and beyond. "
