Edible Model of the Sun
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make "solar cookies," edible models of the Sun's outer layers using sugar cookies and toppings.

Landing the Rover
Source Institutions
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).

Design a Lunar Rover!
Source Institutions
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.

Paint by the Numbers
Source Institutions
In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.

Design a Landing Pod!
Source Institutions
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).

Morning Star and Evening Star
Source Institutions
This demonstration activity models how Venus appears from Earth.

Achieving Orbit
Source Institutions
In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

Eclipse Flipbook
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make flipbooks of drawings showing the progression of a Total Solar Eclipse.

The Parachuting Egg
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.

Lava Layers
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 11-12 of PDF) learners create models of lava layers that have formed on the moon.

Scale Model of Sun and Earth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

Kepler Paper Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a paper model of the spacecraft and photometer (telescope) used during NASA's Kepler Mission.

Four of the States of Matter
Source Institutions
This kinesthetic science demonstration introduces learners to four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
Bag of Bones
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use cereal to conduct an experiment and investigate how decreased bone density is related to increased risk of bone fracture.
