NASA - Space Shuttle Ascent: Mass vs. Time
In this activity, students explore the ascent phase which begins at liftoff and ends when the space shuttle reaches Earth's orbit. The space shuttle must accelerate from zero to approximately 7,850 meters per second (which is approximately 17,500 miles per hour) in eight and a half minutes to re...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--space-shuttle-ascent-mass-vs--time
NASA - Weightless Wonder

NASA - Rendezvous For Two
When the space shuttle launches from NASA Kennedy Space Center, it must launch within a certain time frame (called a launch window) in order to successfully dock with the ISS. Launch windows are calculated so that the space shuttle will reach an orbit that is slightly lower than the ISS, but in t...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--rendezvous-for-two
Graphing Systems at the Races
This activity involves solving a system of equations created from a problem I wrote about a greyhound racing to catch a toy rabbit on a mechanical arm.
