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

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

In this game, learners match descriptions of marine debris (shoes, batteries, paper towels, etc.) to images of these items.

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 use tsunami time travel maps to predict how long it will take a tsunami to reach the shore.

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

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity, learners construct a model of our place in the Milky Way Galaxy and the distribution of stars, with a quarter and some birdseed.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore models of the Milky Way and other galaxies to get a sense of relative distances to other galaxies.

This is a guide for facilitating interaction at a touch tank with marine animals. The instructions are for setting up a display in an informal science center, but could work anywhere.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with marbles and weights to discover some basics about gravity and black holes.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the value of supernovae in the universe.

In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.

In this activity, learners are challenged to calculate their own weight on various planets using a scale and calculator. Older learners may be challenged to do so without using calculators.

In this guided discussion activity, learners watch a video about Central Africa's Lower Congo River, one of the most biologically diverse rivers in the world.

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

In this activity, learners construct hail-proof houses using recycled materials to discuss storm readiness and safety.

This simple and engaging astronomy activity explains nuclear fusion and how radiation is generated by stars, using marshmallows as a model.

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

Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.
