This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity lets learners use star maps (included) to find constellations and to identify stars with extrasolar planets (Northern Hemisphere only, naked eye).

In this activity, learners make "solar cookies," edible models of the Sun's outer layers using sugar cookies and toppings.

In this astronomy activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will examine the effects of gravity on a person’s pulse and explore how gravity can differ from planet to planet.

Did you know that you would be a different age if you lived on Mars? It's true!

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners create 3D models of the Earth, Moon and Sun to demonstrate solar and lunar eclipses.

In this experiment, learners construct an equilateral triangle using graph paper, a pencil, protractor and ruler. They also make a "laser triangle" using a laser pointer and front-silvered mirrors.

In this activity described on pages 2-3 of the PDF, participants debate whether there there's life elsewhere in the universe.

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 (posted on March 12, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a spectroscope, a tool used to analyze light and color.

In this astronomy activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will compare and contrast two planets in the solar system using data obtained from the internet.

In this activity, learners build a scale model of the solar system using a roll of toilet paper.

In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

In this activity, learners build a tool called an inclinometer that can find the height of any distant object, from a tree to the North Star.

Learners listen to and try to decipher a radio message that was sent from Earth to possible intelligent civilizations.

In this activity, learners make their own flip book that shows real solar flares erupting from the Sun in November 2000. Step-by-step instructions are included with photos.

This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

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 physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.
