In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF), learners make a "mini-globe" to investigate the causes of day and night on our planet.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

In this space science activity, learners work together to create a human-powered orrery to model the movements of the four inner planets.

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

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

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

In this activity (on page 6 of the PDF), learners plot the path of the sun's apparent movement across the sky on two days, with the second day occurring two or three months after the first.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.
