In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.

In this activity, learners test how cornstarch and glitter in water move when disturbed. Learners compare their observations with videos of Jupiter's and Earth's storm movements.

In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

In this activity, learners make an equatorial sundial, which is simple to construct and teaches fundamental astronomical concepts. Learners use the provided template and a straw to build the sundial.

In this activity, learn about the cultural stories behind constellations. Then recreate your favorite constellations using marshmallows and toothpicks.

In this activity, learners will create their very own constellation.

In this activity, learners create volcanoes like those they have examined on Earth and Mars through images taken by spacecraft.

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

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.

This chocolate chip cookie recipe includes templates for baking night sky constellations of the season right on top! Two templates are included, one for 9pm mid-April, and one for 10pm mid-July.

In this activity, learners use a toaster to generate wind and compare the appliance's heat source to Jupiter's own hot interior. Learners discover that convection drives wind on Jupiter and on Earth.

In this activity, learners model how the Moon's volcanic period reshaped its earlier features.

In this quick activity, learners practice locating a constellation in a map of very dark skies.
