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

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.

In this activity, learners investigate the Moon's infancy and model how an ocean of molten rock (magma) helped shape the Moon that we see today.

In this activity, learners discover that the Moon, like Earth, is made up of layers of different materials. Learners work in teams to make models of the interiors of the Moon and Earth.

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

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

In this activity, learners create channel features with flowing water, comparing their observations to real images of Mars and Earth taken by satellites/orbiters.

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