In this activity (page 18 of PDF), learners will measure the volume of impact craters created by projectiles of different masses.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this activity, learners sort different natural phenomena into categories (they occur on Earth, on the Moon, or on both), and then model how energy moves during a quake using spring toys.

This activity encourages visitors to build an electroscope—a simplified version of one of the tools scientists use to study the invisible forces on Earth and in space.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

Through a series of simple body movements, learners gain insight into the relationship between time and astronomical motions of Earth (rotation about its axis, and orbit around the Sun), and also abou

In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

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

This quick demonstration (on page 11 of PDF) allows learners to understand why scientists think water ice could remain frozen in always-dark craters at the poles of the Moon.

In this team design challenge (page 11-18 of PDF), learners design and build a Landing Pod for a model Lunar Rover (previously built in activity on page 1-10 of PDF).

In this activity, learners observe the moon each night for a month and draw their observations in a Moon Watch Log.
