In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

This fun astronomy activity allows learners to experience finding stars in the night sky that will eventually go supernova. This activity is perfect for a star party outdoors.

Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.

In this activity, learners will explore the ways natural materials can produce sounds. Appropriate for any age, learners can make individual music or create a symphony with others.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

A design challenge that takes paper airplanes into an entirely different direction: a magnus glider uses cups and and rubber bands to create a glider that uses the same forces that a curveball (from b

In this activity, learners will create a home for animal friends in their backyard using recycled materials. Some material suggestions include: pine straw and twigs.

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

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 make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners use binoculars (or a telescope) to identify and track sunspots. If using binoculars, learners need a pair that can be secured on a tripod.

In this activity, learners observe hard parts of sea creatures (shells, molts, etc.) to better understand marine environments.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.
