In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

In this astronomy activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will compare and contrast two planets in the solar system using data obtained from the internet.

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

In this activity, learners make a scale model of the Solar System and learn the real definition of "space." Learners use the online calculator to create an appropriate scale to use as a basis for thei

Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.

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

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

In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).
