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

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

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.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the value of supernovae in the universe.

In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

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

In this activity, learners explore the magnetic field of a bar magnet as an introduction to understanding Earth's magnetic field. First, learners explore and play with magnets and compasses.

In this activity, learners examine photo images of Earth taken from space, and attempt to identify and explain some of our planet's geological features.

In this online interactive challenge, learners choose items to represent the Earth or solar system, then determine other items to represent the Moon, or Milky Way based on their relative size.

In this activity, learners explore how distance can affect the way we perceive the size of an object.

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