Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.

In this demonstration about force and motion, learners will explore the forces that affect a pendulum A simple model pendulum comprised of a ball and string demonstrates how pendulums work as well as

In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

This activity encourages visitors to build an electroscope—a simplified version of one of the tools scientists use to study the invisible forces on Earth and in space.

"Molecules in Motion" explores how materials behave and change in a vacuum.

In this activity, learners will "paint" their own crystal artwork by creating a picture with a super saturated salt solution.

In this activity, young learners explore the basic shapes of constellations by making their own scope out of a cardboard tube and paper with pinpricks.

Investigate the interaction of liquids of different densities and experiment with wave patterns with this hands-on activity.

"Exploring the Universe: Objects in Motion" encourages participants to explore the complex but predictable ways objects in the universe interact with each other.

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

In this activity, learners explore how hot and cold water move. Learners observe that temperature and density affect how liquids rise and fall.

“Exploring the Universe: Orbiting Objects” is a hands-on activity that invites visitors to experiment with different sized and weighted balls on a stretchy fabric gravity well.

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with marbles and weights to discover some basics about gravity and black holes.

In this quick activity, learners break the tension that happens when water develops a "skin." Learners use water, pepper and some soap to discover the wonders of surface tension—the force that attract
