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

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this space science activity, learners work together to create a human-powered orrery to model the movements of the four inner planets.

In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

“Exploring the Universe: Orbiting Objects” is a hands-on activity that invites visitors to experiment with different sized and weighted balls on a stretchy fabric gravity well.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this activity, learners create channel features with flowing water, comparing their observations to real images of Mars and Earth taken by satellites/orbiters.

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

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the composition of unseen materials using a variety of tools.
