In this activity, learners confront their perceptions of gravity in the solar system.

In this activity, learners model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface.

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

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

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

In this activity, learners observe colors in the flame of a burning candle to explore connections between matter, light, color and temperature -- basic concepts of matter and energy.

In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

Using information from the My Place in Space lithograph, learners write and/or draw a postcard to friends and family as if they had gone beyond the interstellar boundary of our Solar System, into the

Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.
