In this activity, learners use their imaginations and picture a scene in their heads.

Learners build 3D representations of constellations, which show not just the position of the stars as seen from Earth but also their relative distance from Earth.

Learners model the Sun-Earth-Moon system to show what causes the Moon's appearance to change when viewed from the Earth.

In this activity, learners use a simple trick of perspective to dress friends in tiny cutout clothing. Learners make tiny pants out of card stock and tape them to the end of a stick.
