This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

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

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

In this activity, learners explore how genetic switches function and the role of genetic switches in the process of evolution.

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.

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

In this activity, learners build a miniature wind tunnel to measure force. Learners construct the model out of Lexan plastic, a fan, and a precise digital scale.

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

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.
