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

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

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 craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

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.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.
