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

In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.

In this activity, learners build a simple pinhole viewer. They use this apparatus to project images from a variety of light sources, including a candle, the Sun, and the Moon.

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

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity, learners observe the moon each night for a month and draw their observations in a Moon Watch Log.

In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.

In this activity, learners measure the diameter of their water balloons, model an impact, measure the diameter of the “crater” area, and determine the ratio of impactor to crater.
