In this activity, learners model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.

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

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

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.

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 shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this activity, learners build a scale model of the solar system using a roll of toilet paper.

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

Learners use simple materials to construct a model the Big Dipper. Learners hang the model from a doorway or ceiling and look up at it to see the constellation as seen from Earth.
