In this activity, learners construct a robot-like hand to demonstrate how data is collected when using robotic technology.

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 space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

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

This lesson will helps learners answer the question: How does the bombardment of micrometeoroids make regolith on the moon?

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

In this activity, learners will train to improve lung, heart, and other muscle endurance as they walk a progressive, measured distance.

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

This lesson plan provides learners with two activities to explore the connections between events in their lives and the seasons of the year.

In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

In this activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.

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.

In this activity, "space cadets" (learners) use writing and sequencing skills in addition to directional words/ordered pairs to guide Buzz Lightyear (from the movie "Toy Story") through a grid to reac

In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

In this two part activity, learners work in pairs or individually to discover how vectoring the thrust from a jet engine affects movement of an airplane.

In this activity, learners train to increase muscular strength and improve upper and lower body coordination by performing the “bear crawl” and the "crab walk.” Learners perform the exercises over tim

In this activity, learners will train to develop upper and lower body strength in their muscles and bones by performing body-weight squats and push-ups.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.
