This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

In this activity, dry ice and other items are used to construct a demonstration model of a comet that illustrates the comet nucleus, coma, and tails.

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

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

In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

In this two-part activity, learners explore the Earth and Sun's positions in relation to the constellations of the ecliptic with a small model.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

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

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.
