This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.

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

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

In this activity, pairs of learners model how scientists use craters to determine the ages of lunar surfaces. One partner keeps time while the other creates a painting for the other to interpret.

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 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.

In this activity, learners experience some of the challenges of "tele-operating" a robotic vehicle on another planet when they design and execute a series of commands to guide a human "rover" through

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the composition of unseen materials using a variety of tools.

In this activity, groups of four learners must complete a set of four manual tasks. The restrictions are that they must complete the tasks in a limited time while wearing garden or rubber gloves.

In this activity about the circulatory system and space travel (on page 38 of the PDF), learners use water balloons to simulate the effects of gravity and microgravity on fluid distribution in the bod

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.
