In this cooperative game, learners devise strategies about sharing a small space with each other.

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

In this activity, learners design a flag for a chosen or assigned planet. The instructions include information about flags on Earth, and a list of flag references.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners create 3D models of the Earth, Moon and Sun to demonstrate solar and lunar eclipses.

In this activity, learners experiment with shadows and light sources to understand the relationship between the angle illumination and the shadow's length.

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, groups cut out and sort cards showing items recovered from a crash landing on the Moon. The 12 items range from food and water to rope and matches to a self-inflating life raft.

Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en línea, en libros de consulta, y en calendarios y almanaques.

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

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

In this activity, learners craft their own model of a comet on a stick to make it fly around the room.

In this activity, learners make flipbooks of drawings showing the progression of a Total Solar Eclipse.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

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.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

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 will discover how our universe is continuously expanding.
