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

In this activity, learners investigate the Moon's infancy and model how an ocean of molten rock (magma) helped shape the Moon that we see today.

In this activity, learners act as the Earth and observe how different angles between the Sun, Earth, and Moon affect the phases of the moon we see each month.

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 perform 20 arm curls with cans that simulate the weight of beans on Earth versus the weights of the same number of beans on the Moon and in space.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

In this activity, learners predict whether a ball on Earth or a ball on the Moon bounces higher when dropped and why.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

In this activity about light and perception, learners discover how a flash of light can create a lingering image called an "afterimage" on the retina of the eye.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.
