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 craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

Learners will explore the concept of angular distance, and investigate why the moon appears to be the same size as the sun during a solar eclipse, despite the sun being much larger.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.

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