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

In this activity, learners investigate the formation of craters. Learners will examine how the size, angle and speed of a meteorite's impact affects the properties of craters.

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 team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

Through a series of simple body movements, learners gain insight into the relationship between time and astronomical motions of Earth (rotation about its axis, and orbit around the Sun), and also abou

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

In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

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

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 team design challenge (page 11-18 of PDF), learners design and build a Landing Pod for a model Lunar Rover (previously built in activity on page 1-10 of PDF).

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

In this group activity, learners will mark important developments of life on Earth on a timeline (each foot in length representing 200 million years).

In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

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

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore what happens when a star explodes.

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.

In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.

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

In this activity (page 18 of PDF), learners will measure the volume of impact craters created by projectiles of different masses.
