In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

In this activity, learners drop impactors onto layers of graham crackers!

In this activity, learners investigate the Moon's infancy and model how an ocean of molten rock (magma) helped shape the Moon that we see today.

In this activity, learners discover that the Moon, like Earth, is made up of layers of different materials. Learners work in teams to make models of the interiors of the Moon and Earth.

In this activity (on pages 6-11), learners work as a team to investigate how impact craters on Earth, the Moon or other planets take shape and what patterns they make.

In this activity, learners model ancient lunar impacts using water balloons.

This lesson will helps learners answer the question: How does the bombardment of micrometeoroids make regolith on the moon?

In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.

In this activity, learners create volcanoes like those they have examined on Earth and Mars through images taken by spacecraft.

In this activity, learners create channel features with flowing water, comparing their observations to real images of Mars and Earth taken by satellites/orbiters.

In this activity, learners model how the Moon's volcanic period reshaped its earlier features.
