Learners model the Sun-Earth-Moon system to show what causes the Moon's appearance to change when viewed from the Earth.

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

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

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.

In this online interactive challenge, learners choose items to represent the Earth or solar system, then determine other items to represent the Moon, or Milky Way based on their relative size.

In this online game, learners attempt to send a rocket ship to various targets. Learners can adjust the angle and thrust of the rocket before it is launched.

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

Learners investigate why the Sun and Moon appear the same size in the sky even though the Sun is over 400 times larger in diameter.

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

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