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

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.

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