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

In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

In this activity, learners will go outside and create a constellation.

This demonstration activity models how Venus appears from Earth.

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 craft their own model of a comet on a stick to make it fly around the room.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

In this activity, learners will create their very own constellation.

In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.

In this activity, learners will investigate how craters are made and the different factors that contribute to size left from the impact.

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

In this activity, learners explore how distance can affect the way we perceive the size of an object.

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

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 outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity, learners recreate the lunar phases using the frosting from Oreo® cookies and place the phases in order. Round cream cheese crackers can also be used if cookies are not an option.

In this activity, learners imagine what the world might look like if we could build an elevator to space!

"Exploring the Solar System: Craters" is an active, hands-on activity that demonstrates how craters form, and what they can teach us about the history and composition of planets and moons.

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