In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

This Exploratorium activity can be used in many contexts because geysers are great opportunities for learning about heat and temperature changes as well as geological/space science phenomena.

Learners build a simple solar oven from a shoebox, black construction paper, and aluminum foil. Over the course of a few hours, the oven heats up water enough to brew tea.

This lesson will helps learners answer the question: How does the bombardment of micrometeoroids make regolith on the moon?

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this activity, learners drop impactors onto layers of graham crackers!
