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

In this astronomy activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will examine the effects of gravity on a person’s pulse and explore how gravity can differ from planet to planet.

Did you know that you would be a different age if you lived on Mars? It's true!

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners create 3D models of the Earth, Moon and Sun to demonstrate solar and lunar eclipses.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this activity, learners will go outside and create a constellation.

In this activity, learners experiment with shadows and light sources to understand the relationship between the angle illumination and the shadow's length.

Before there were clocks, people used shadows to tell time. In this outdoor activity, learners will discover how to tell time using only a compass, a pencil, a handy printout, and a sunny day.

Space telescopes can offer us better, clearer views of the universe (and of our own planet) than Earth-based telescopes can, but getting these large, delicate pieces of equipment into orbit is tricky.

In this activity, learners will build a model of a nebula using cotton balls and colored water. Astronomers photograph nebulas and add colors to provide information about the nebula's composition.

In this activity, groups cut out and sort cards showing items recovered from a crash landing on the Moon. The 12 items range from food and water to rope and matches to a self-inflating life raft.

This is an activity about waves. Using marbles, paper clips and rubber bands, learners explore how waves behave.

Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en línea, en libros de consulta, y en calendarios y almanaques.

In this online activity, learners build their own system of heavenly bodies and watch the gravitational ballet.

In this online activity, learners can test their skills at finding constellations in the northern hemisphere's night sky.

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

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

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