Build a Satellite — NASA JPL lessonScience · Engineering & Technology · Grades 5–6Lesson plan

This lesson provides students with an understanding of satellites, their use and structure, and power systems. In this potentially multi-day activity, students will use the engineering design process to design, build, test and improve a model satellite. The satellite must meet certain instrumentation criteria and robust constraints in order to successfully overcome vibration testing. Materials Oatmeal canister or mailing tube to simulate the rocket fairing size constraint Metric or standard rul
