In this science/art activity, learners create an insignia or emblem for a planet exploration mission.

Rocks are made of minerals, and minerals often have crystal shapes. In this fun activity about geometry in nature, learners create their own crystal shapes out of paper.

In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

In this activity, learners make a flip book that shows the progression of two solar events on reversible sides of the flip book.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity, learners explore the potential of interchangeable standard parts to create a large number of unique creations in different combinations.

In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

In this activity, learners make flipbooks of drawings showing the progression of a Total Solar Eclipse.

In this activity, learners will create their very own constellation.

“Exploring the Universe: Imagining Life” is a hands-on activity in which visitors imagine and draw an extreme environment beyond Earth, then invent a living thing that could thrive in it.

In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

In this activity, learners build a paper model of the spacecraft and photometer (telescope) used during NASA's Kepler Mission.

In ancient Chaco Canyon, the people used a "sun dagger" petroglyph to mark the passing of seasons.

This activity generates learner excitement about light through the creation of a room-sized rainbow.

The Sacred Cenote at Chichén Itzá is a sink hole, or well, containing groundwater. In this activity, learners create their own cenote using chalk, limestone, acids, and rain water.

In this activity, learners design a flag for a chosen or assigned planet. The instructions include information about flags on Earth, and a list of flag references.

In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.

In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.
