In this activity, learners create their own constellations and star patterns and write a short, descriptive story explaining the significance of their star pattern/constellation.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this activity, learners will build a model of a nebula using cotton balls and colored water. Astronomers photograph nebulas and add colors to provide information about the nebula's composition.

Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.

In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

Learners build 3D representations of constellations, which show not just the position of the stars as seen from Earth but also their relative distance from Earth.

In this activity, learners build a simple solar oven out of household materials to melt chocolate and marshmallow between graham crackers--known as s'mores.

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

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

This activity is about the mural making process done about 9,000 years ago in Catalhoyuk, Turkey.

In this activity, learners will swirl paint into shaving cream to make an extravagant nebula print.

In this design challenge, learners design a storm drain cover that catches litter to protect waterways to learn about how local actions can have system-level effects.

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.

Educator Amy O'Donnell from the American Museum of Natural History guides learners to create a diorama of a coral reef.
