In this space science worksheet, students read about the space shuttle mission and answer 6 short answer questions about life of astronauts in space stations.

Students simulate how the Moon causes ocean tides. In this earth science lesson, students calculate gravitational acceleration using a mathematical formula. They compare the force of attraction between the Earth, Moon and Sun system.

Fifth graders create their own constellations using pin holes and black paper. In this space science lesson, 5th graders write a story about their constellation. They share their project with the class.

Eighth graders describe how the Earth's position causes seasonal changes. In this astronomy instructional activity, 8th graders explain how solar radiation varies depending on the season. They create a collage or poster on each of the...

Students estimate the size of the solar system and the distance to the nearest star.  In this space lesson students complete calculations and use Sattgast Hall as a scale model.

Students create a scaled solar system model using colorful beads. In this space science instructional activity, students convert AU units into metric measurements. They arrange the planets according to their distances from the sun.

Students investigate how flowing water influence landforms. In this earth science lesson, students observe water behavior as it flows from the stream table at various inclinations. They discuss whether water shaped Mars landforms or not.

Learners investigate the factors affecting the size of a crater. In this space science lesson, students collect data from the activity and graph them. They explain how velocity of impact relate to crater size.

Students explore what black holes are and how gravity is associated with them.  In this space instructional activity students are given enough information to imagine a journey to a black hole. 

Students construct a simple radio telescope. In this astronomy lesson, students explain how this telescope works and what information it collects.

High schoolers examine the dust in their classroom and relate it to the dust in space.  In this investigative lesson students collect dust and graph their findings.

In this space science worksheet, students solve 7 problems related to black hole space and time. They answer questions related to the spacetime dimension.
