In this cooperative game, learners devise strategies about sharing a small space with each other.

In this activity, learners will imagine the challenges and opportunities of asteroid mining.

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 craft their own model of a comet on a stick to make it fly around the room.

In "Exploring the Solar System: Mars Rovers," participants learn about how scientists and engineers use robotic rovers and other vehicles to explore distant worlds, and experience some of the challeng

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

In this activity, learners work in teams to simulate the process used by Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to determine the location of a fallen meteorite in Antarctica.

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

Make impact craters with marbles (or rocks or washers) in a container of flour. Find out what you can learn about your "comets" by the craters they make.

In this activity, learners predict whether a ball on Earth or a ball on the Moon bounces higher when dropped and why.

In this astronomy activity, learners create a model of the solar system using beads and string.

In this hands-on activity, learners simulate the crashing and smashing of a meteor impact using household cooking supplies.

In this activity, learners act as the Earth and observe how different angles between the Sun, Earth, and Moon affect the phases of the moon we see each month.

In this activity, learners build a scale model of the solar system using a roll of toilet paper.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

In this activity, learners use candy pieces and a cookie to make an accurate model of the Sun they can eat. Parts of the delicious model include solar granules, sunspots, and solar prominences.

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

"Exploring the Solar System: Hide and Seek Moon" is an engaging way for early childhood learners to experiment with some of the tools scientists use to study objects that are very, very far away, and

In this activity, learners recreate the lunar phases using the frosting from Oreo® cookies and place the phases in order. Round cream cheese crackers can also be used if cookies are not an option.
