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 make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

In this activity (on pages 12-15), learners make a crater model and test the effects of weather (rain) on its surface.

In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

In this activity (located on page 2), learners will construct tiny model geysers out of film canisters, warm water, and antacid seltzer tablets.

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.

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.

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 experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

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