In this activity, learners model how the Moon's volcanic period reshaped its earlier features.

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.

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, learners discover that the Moon, like Earth, is made up of layers of different materials. Learners work in teams to make models of the interiors of the Moon and Earth.

This quick demonstration (on page 11 of PDF) allows learners to understand why scientists think water ice could remain frozen in always-dark craters at the poles of the Moon.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.

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

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

In this activity, learners discover how geologists use stratigraphy, the study of layered rock, to understand the sequence of geological events.
