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

"Exploring the Solar System: Hide and Seek Moon" is an engaging way for early childhood learners to experiment with some of the tools scientists use to study objects that are very, very far away, and

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.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

In this activity, young learners will learn about moon phases using materials found at home. This activity is adapted using play dough and cups to avoid food allergens and waste.

In this collaborative storytelling activity, learners and caregivers develop a strong story about science and exploration.

In this activity, groups cut out and sort cards showing items recovered from a crash landing on the Moon. The 12 items range from food and water to rope and matches to a self-inflating life raft.

In this activity, learners recreate the lunar phases using the frosting from Oreo® cookies and place the phases in order. Round cream cheese crackers can also be used if cookies are not an option.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners create 3D models of the Earth, Moon and Sun to demonstrate solar and lunar eclipses.

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

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

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

In this hands-on activity, learners simulate the crashing and smashing of a meteor impact using household cooking supplies.

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

In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.
