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

In this activity, learners create their own constellations and star patterns and write a short, descriptive story explaining the significance of their star pattern/constellation.

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

In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

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 will build a model of a nebula using cotton balls and colored water. Astronomers photograph nebulas and add colors to provide information about the nebula's composition.

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.

In this activity, pairs of learners model how scientists use craters to determine the ages of lunar surfaces. One partner keeps time while the other creates a painting for the other to interpret.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

In this game, learners cutout a model black hole "cone" and attempt to roll around a marble or other small spherical object without touching the event horizon.

“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.

Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en línea, en libros de consulta, y en calendarios y almanaques.

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

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

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 "game," learners explore and relate the evolution of stars to a Navajo creation story. The story is written on a series of cards, which are laid on a table as the story is told.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).
