In this activity, learners confront their perceptions of gravity in the solar system.

In this activity, learners model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

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

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.

In this activity, learners build a paper model of the spacecraft and photometer (telescope) used during NASA's Kepler Mission.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the composition of unseen materials using a variety of tools.
