In this optics activity, learners make a simple telescope using two lenses and a cardboard tube. Learners construct the telescope and then calculate its magnification.

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

In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.

In this activity, learners carry out a scientific investigation of dust in their classroom. Learners produce an analysis on graph paper of the dust they collect over the course of a few days.

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.
