In this activity, learners make an equatorial sundial, which is simple to construct and teaches fundamental astronomical concepts. Learners use the provided template and a straw to build the sundial.

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

This activity helps learners understand how the angle of the Sun affects temperatures around the globe.

In this activity, learners use tsunami time travel maps to predict how long it will take a tsunami to reach the shore.

In this activity, learners explore how the shapes, sizes, and distances of land masses appear differently on two different models of Earth: an icosahedron and a flat map.

In this activity about cartography, learners work in teams to create two different map projections: a planar (or polar) and a cylindrical (or Mercator) projection.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of magnetic fields by inserting a small, strong magnet into a sphere.
