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).

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

In this activity, learners will make their own prism and use a glass of water to separate sunlight into different colors.

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

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

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.

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

In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.

Learners will explore the concept of angular distance, and investigate why the moon appears to be the same size as the sun during a solar eclipse, despite the sun being much larger.

In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

In this activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.

This hands-on astronomy activity lets learners hunt for different objects in the night sky that contribute to stellar and planetary formation, using a Treasure List.

In this activity, learners use binoculars (or a telescope) to identify and track sunspots. If using binoculars, learners need a pair that can be secured on a tripod.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?

In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.
