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.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

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

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 a scale model of the solar system using a roll of toilet paper.

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

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with a bucket, stretchy fabric, marbles, and weights to discover some basics about gravity.

Albert Einstein proved that space bends around anything that has mass. This activity uses Jell-O's ability to bend around objects as a model for space bending around planets and stars.
