This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the path of light as it reflects off of mirrors and how this is used in telescopes.

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 international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

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

In this quick activity, learners practice locating a constellation in a map of very dark skies.

Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.

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

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

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.
