In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

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.

Space Guess Quest is a fun game that encourages participants to identify the many types of objects in space, from human-made spacecraft to nebulas, galaxies, stars, and worlds.

In this activity, learners will imagine the challenges and opportunities of asteroid mining.

In this activity, learners construct a rocket powered by the pressure generated from an effervescing antacid tablet reacting with water, and build a launch pad for their rocket.

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

This activity/demo introduces learners to aerogel, a glass nanofoam. Learners discover how aerogel is made and how well it insulates as well as learn about aerogel's other unique properties.

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

Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.

In this activity, learners cut out and fold their own collapsible origami starshade, an invention that shields a telescope's camera lens from the light of a distant star so that NASA scientists can ex

In this activity, learners simulate a multistage rocket launch using party balloons, fishing line, straws, and a plastic cup.

In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.
