In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

In this activity, learners are challenged to calculate their own weight on various planets using a scale and calculator. Older learners may be challenged to do so without using calculators.

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can utilize it to investigate volume, mass, and density.

Did you know that you would be a different age if you lived on Mars? It's true!

This trick from Exploratorium physicist Paul Doherty lets you add together the bounces of two balls and send one ball flying.

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

In this math activity related to light, learners explore why a light, such as a candle or a streetlight, looks dimmer the farther away from it we get.

Learners can program a compass to draw a circle by itself using a Pico Cricket, some Legos, and lots of tape! Pico Cricket is required.

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

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

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.
