CubeSat Model Building

This lesson will help students visualize the size and scope of cube satellites (CubeSat). First, students will use a printable template to build cardstock CubeSat models to get an idea of the size and scale of these satellites (or design their own).

NGSS Standards

MS-PS4-3 Integrate qualitative scientific and technical information to support the claim that digitized signals are a more reliable way to encode and transmit information than analog signals.

MS-ESS1-3 Analyze and interpret data to determine scale properties of objects in the solar system.
