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 activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

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.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

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 activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

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 explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.

This board game teaches learners about energy decision making. Players select cards that determine the transportation and home design that will influence their expenses as they play.

In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.
