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 build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.

In this fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity, learners construct a model of our place in the Milky Way Galaxy and the distribution of stars, with a quarter and some birdseed.

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