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

In this activity, learners perform 20 arm curls with cans that simulate the weight of beans on Earth versus the weights of the same number of beans on the Moon and in space.

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

In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

Learners investigate why the Sun and Moon appear the same size in the sky even though the Sun is over 400 times larger in diameter.

In this activity, learners measure the diameter of their water balloons, model an impact, measure the diameter of the “crater” area, and determine the ratio of impactor to crater.
