In this activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.

This fun, nighttime hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore how long it takes for light from different objects in the universe to reach Earth.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.

In this activity, learners will make their own prism and use a glass of water to separate sunlight into different colors.

In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.

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.

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.

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 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 make their own solar oven to bake s'mores and learn about how solar energy is absorbed on Earth.

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

Glare from the sun and ripples from the wind can make it hard to see what's below the surface of a body of water.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.

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

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.

In this laboratory experiment, learners explore how effectively different sunscreens protect yeast cells from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
