In this activity, learners discover how geologists use stratigraphy, the study of layered rock, to understand the sequence of geological events.

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

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity demonstrates the shadow of the Earth as it rises as a dark blue shadow above the eastern horizon.

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.

In this activity, learners build their own magnetometer using an empty soda bottle, magnets, laser pointer, and household objects.

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 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.
