Space telescopes can offer us better, clearer views of the universe (and of our own planet) than Earth-based telescopes can, but getting these large, delicate pieces of equipment into orbit is tricky.

In this activity, learners explore the physics of impact craters from their own backyard using mud. Learners are encouraged to match features of real impact craters to their models.

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

In this activity, learners construct a rocket powered by the pressure generated from an effervescing antacid tablet reacting with water, and build a launch pad for their rocket.

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

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

In this collaborative storytelling activity, learners and caregivers develop a strong story about science and exploration.

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

Using information from the My Place in Space lithograph, learners write and/or draw a postcard to friends and family as if they had gone beyond the interstellar boundary of our Solar System, into the

"Exploring the Solar System: Hide and Seek Moon" is an engaging way for early childhood learners to experiment with some of the tools scientists use to study objects that are very, very far away, and

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.
