Through a series of simple body movements, learners gain insight into the relationship between time and astronomical motions of Earth (rotation about its axis, and orbit around the Sun), and also abou

This demonstration activity models how Venus appears from Earth.

In this space science activity, learners work together to create a human-powered orrery to model the movements of the four inner planets.

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.

This lesson plan provides learners with two activities to explore the connections between events in their lives and the seasons of the year.

In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.
