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 shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this activity, learners model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" by Byron Barton to understand some background information about dinosaurs.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.

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

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In this two-part activity, learners explore the Earth and Sun's positions in relation to the constellations of the ecliptic with a small model.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

In this activity, learners make a scale model of the Solar System and learn the real definition of "space." Learners use the online calculator to create an appropriate scale to use as a basis for thei

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

In this goopy activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will model glacial movement with “gak,” a white glue and liquid starch mixture.

In this activity, learners explore how the shapes, sizes, and distances of land masses appear differently on two different models of Earth: an icosahedron and a flat map.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons and anatomy. Learners make observations about a T. rex skeleton diagram and then measure the skeleton length and width.

In this three-part activity, learners explore how waves are formed and why some waves are bigger than others. First, learners observe waves of water in a pan generated by an electric fan.
