NASA Kids Club
Welcome to NASA Kids’ Club – a place to play games and learn about NASA!
.The "International Space Station Puzzle" is a free online knowledge level game, with photo of the majestic space station.
See and color pictures of wildlife living on different NASA centers.
How well do you know the food groups? Match tiles of Earth food and space food to complete the Space Lunch game.
In this game you will send information, or data, back to Earth using lasers. You will use mirrors to move the laser and avoid obstacles to get the data back to Earth.

Hurricane Simulator
Severe Weather
Making Thunderstorms
Explore the relationship between sea surface temperatures (SST) and hurricane strength.
Can you adjust the atmosphere to make a thunderstorm?  Thunderstorms can only happen under certain conditions. What do temperature and humidity need to be like up high and near to the ground to make a storm?
Students: determine where the hurricanes will form best by:
  • Drag the hurricane around to see the effect surface temperature has on the hurricane.
  • Drag the grey high pressure area around to see how pressure and winds influence hurricane paths.
  • Click the season name to rotate through seasons. Ocean temperatures change with each season.
Students: determine which settings creates the largest thunderstorm. Remember to record your answer(s).
