In this activity, learners will go outside and create a constellation.

In this activity, young learners go on a walk with caregivers and use their senses to observe nature with the help of scavenger hunt sheet.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

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

In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

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

Make impact craters with marbles (or rocks or washers) in a container of flour. Find out what you can learn about your "comets" by the craters they make.

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.

In this activity, learners explore the physics of impact craters from their own backyard using mud. Learners are encouraged to match features of real impact craters to their models.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

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

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

In this activity, learners observe tide pool animals in a touch tank to consider how they survive.

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

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

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 chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

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.
