In this engaging 6-lesson STEM challenge, student teams take on the role of NASA engineers. They apply the Engineering Design Process to plan, build, and test a scale model of a lunar habitat — a "Moon Pod" — that includes five functional zones and survives simulated lunar conditions. This ready-to-teach unit includes printable worksheets, activity cards, rubrics, vocabulary, teacher tips, and test station instructions. Perfect for project-based learning (PBL), space units, or end-of-year STEM
