In this activity described on pages 2-3 of the PDF, participants debate whether there there's life elsewhere in the universe.

In this group activity, learners will mark important developments of life on Earth on a timeline (each foot in length representing 200 million years).

Learners listen to and try to decipher a radio message that was sent from Earth to possible intelligent civilizations.

In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.

In this activity, learners analyze a fictionalized report of life on Mars, based on a real NASA satellite photo, and explore how to separate scientific fact from fiction.

On the first night, I saw 5 stars in the desert. On the second night, I saw 10… What do you think I saw on the third night? Combine arts and crafts, literacy, and math by making a counting book.

In this activity, learners plan and create a 24-foot long, two-dimensional model of our solar system, and compare and contrast the differences between planets and the sun.
