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 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 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 predict whether a ball on Earth or a ball on the Moon bounces higher when dropped and why.

In this experiment, learners construct an equilateral triangle using graph paper, a pencil, protractor and ruler. They also make a "laser triangle" using a laser pointer and front-silvered mirrors.

In this activity, learners will compare predicted and observed tides using data from The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA).

This fun hands-on astronomy activity uses a variety of simple props to help learners understand why they see what they see in a telescope.

In this activity, learners will train to increase bone strength and to improve heart and other muscle endurance by performing jump training with a rope, both while stationary and moving.

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