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.

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

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

Many people think the different stages in the life of a star are actually different types of stars, rather than just stages in the life of a single star.

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.

In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

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.

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

In this activity, learners make an equatorial sundial, which is simple to construct and teaches fundamental astronomical concepts. Learners use the provided template and a straw to build the sundial.

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.
