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.

In this activity, learners set up a night time insect observation station with a light and sheet.

In this activity, learners are challenged to build a bird feeder using recycled materials from home and are encouraged to problem solve during the extensions.

This hands-on astronomy activity lets learners hunt for different objects in the night sky that contribute to stellar and planetary formation, using a Treasure List.

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

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.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity demonstrates the shadow of the Earth as it rises as a dark blue shadow above the eastern horizon.

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

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

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

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

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 craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

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

Learners experiment with a commercial photo-sensitive paper (Sunprint® or NaturePrint® paper). They place opaque and clear objects on the paper and expose it to bright light, observing the results.

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

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