In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

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 (posted on March 12, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a spectroscope, a tool used to analyze light and color.

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

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

In this activity, teams of learners study magnetic fields at four separate stations: examining magnetic fields generated by everyday items, mapping out a magnetic field using a compass, creating model

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.
