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

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

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

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

In this activity, learners craft their own model of a comet on a stick to make it fly around the room.

In this board game, learners explore the origins of meteors, meteoroids, and meteorites as well as the their characteristics and importance. They also discover some misconceptions about meteors.

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

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

This demonstration activity models how Venus appears from Earth.
