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

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 interdisciplinary activity, learners create a Space Weather Action Center (SWAC) to monitor solar storms and develop real SWAC news reports.

In this activity, learners perform 20 arm curls with cans that simulate the weight of beans on Earth versus the weights of the same number of beans on the Moon and in space.

In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

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, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.

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 test how cornstarch and glitter in water move when disturbed. Learners compare their observations with videos of Jupiter's and Earth's storm movements.

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

In "Exploring the Solar System: Stomp Rockets," participants learn about how some rockets carry science tools—not scientists—into space, and how a special kind of rocket called "sounding rockets" can

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 predict whether a ball on Earth or a ball on the Moon bounces higher when dropped and why.

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 use a toaster to generate wind and compare the appliance's heat source to Jupiter's own hot interior. Learners discover that convection drives wind on Jupiter and on Earth.
