In this activity, learners experiment with shadows and light sources to understand the relationship between the angle illumination and the shadow's length.

This demonstration activity models how Venus appears from Earth.

In this activity, learners investigate the Earth's rotation and how to tell the time of day without a clock. Thsi simple activity only requires a paper plate, a pencil, and sunshine.

In this activity, learners make flipbooks of drawings showing the progression of a Total Solar Eclipse.

In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

In this two-part activity, learners explore the Earth and Sun's positions in relation to the constellations of the ecliptic with a small model.

In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

In this activity, learners investigate the concepts of relative size and distance by creating a basic model of the solar system.

In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

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

Using information from the My Place in Space lithograph, learners write and/or draw a postcard to friends and family as if they had gone beyond the interstellar boundary of our Solar System, into the

In this activity, learners observe the moon each night for a month and draw their observations in a Moon Watch Log.

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.

This kinesthetic science demonstration introduces learners to four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.

In this activity, learners make a flip book that shows the progression of two solar events on reversible sides of the flip book.
