In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

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

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

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

In this activity, learners mimic remote sensing. Learners use a stick to measure the distance to a "planet surface" they cannot see, and create their own map of the landscape.

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