What's Included

  • Curriculum

    160+ colorful pages chock full of educator guides, step-by-step lessons, hands-on activities, printables and fun suborbital science and aerospace graphics (yes, they CAN be a lot of nerdy fun!)

  • Science Notebook

    Scientists and engineers use notebooks. But ours is NOT uber technical and boring! Used sequentially, the Science and Engineering Design Notebook guides student learning, research and design.

  • Discussion Forums

    Connect with other educators and the Cubes in Space Team. Topic-specific modules allow you to ask questions or share your experiences with the program. There is also an Application for Spaceflight forum for extra help!

  • Presentations and Videos

    Science communication is an integral part of a space mission or STEM program. We love to be created and develop new media for your instruction and to use with your students. Google Slides, MS PowerPoint and videos - oh my!

  • Assessments

    Integrating Cubes in Space into your curriculum? We've developed a series of formative and summative assessments for content modules. From exit tickets to projects, we deliver assessments to help you gauge student learning and understanding.

  • Professional Development Certificate

    Deepen your knowledge about suborbital science, engineering and aerospace concepts. Learn and practice a system thinking approach to instruction. If your students submit an Intent to Fly Form, you earn a Professional Development Certificate.
