The Next Frontier? Space and Big Data

Asteroid Mining Science Project

 

Analyze NASA Data to Strike It Rich

Could asteroid mining be the space equivalent of gold mining? Possibly! But how will scientists and entrepreneurs decide which asteroids to target? The new "Asteroid Mining: Gold Rush in Space?" astronomy project guides students in using NASA data to help them make decisions as they create a business plan for a hypothetical asteroid mining company. 

Comet ISON is scheduled to swing close to the Sun next week, and astronomers are eagerly tracking its approach. Learn more about comets in the Dirty Snowballs: How a Comet's Size Affects How Fast It Melts student astronomy project. What variables contribute to the rate of melting?

Spotlighted Classroom Activity

  

This new classroom activity guides classes in a fun, hands-on exploration of how genetics influence a person's chances of getting an autoimmune disease. Using dice and candies, students experiment to see how the odds of getting an autoimmune disease play out. Both educator and student guides are available for this activity! 

A full version of this Project Idea is also available for an independent student science project.

Science Buddies Project Ideas in Medical Biotechnology are supported by
the Amgen Foundation.
