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

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 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 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.

Through a series of simple body movements, learners gain insight into the relationship between time and astronomical motions of Earth (rotation about its axis, and orbit around the Sun), and also abou
