In this activity, learners investigate the concepts of relative size and distance by creating a basic model of the solar system.

In this activity, learners build a simple pinhole viewer. They use this apparatus to project images from a variety of light sources, including a candle, the Sun, and the Moon.

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

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

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.
