In this activity, learners observe the moon each night for a month and draw their observations in a Moon Watch Log.

In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.

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

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.

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 measure the diameter of their water balloons, model an impact, measure the diameter of the “crater” area, and determine the ratio of impactor to crater.

In this nighttime, outdoor activity, learners keep a record of what they see in the sky by drawing constellations, the Moon, and making note of the weather and conditions each day.

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

In this activity, learners use their hands as tools for indirect measurement.
