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 math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.

This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

Can gelatin (like Jell-O ®) change the speed of light?

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

In this activity, learners build a simple pinhole viewer. They use this apparatus to project images from a variety of light sources, including a candle, the Sun, and the Moon.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

In this geography investigation, learners use a nighttime satellite image to observe areas of light across the United States and to identify patterns and spatial distributions of human settlements.
