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

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.

In this activity, learners make models representing bones on Earth and bones that have been in space. They discover what happens to bones without proper exercise and nutrition.

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 discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh

In this laboratory experiment, learners explore how effectively different sunscreens protect yeast cells from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

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 investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.

In this activity, learners work in teams to construct human lung models from small plastic beverage bottles and balloons.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity uses a variety of simple props to help learners understand why they see what they see in a telescope.

In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

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 work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity, learners use plastic water bottles, wood, and water to build an inexpensive and portable tool to demonstrate one atmosphere of pressure at sea level.

This is a fun activity about the power of the Sun and the importance of using sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin from its rays.
