Young scholars take a mission to the moon. In this space science lesson, students visit selected websites to discover information about Earth's moon and the solar system. Young scholars may take virtual missions to the moon and...

Students construct a simple robotic energy transformer. In this space science lesson plan, students explain how energy is transformed from one form to another. They identify the different uses of robotic devices.

Students demonstrate how the body moves and the use of personal and general space concepts.Students identify different body parts and colors.students identify various body parts (knees, elbows, hands, feet, etc), right and left side of...

Young scholars read the novel, The Time Machine, and compare H.G. Well's perceptions of the future with those presented in The Third Wave, by Alvin Toffler. They research current scientific and mathematical theories that relate to space...

Third graders construct a model of the earth-sun-moon system using students as the sun, moon, and earth. They discuss ways that time is related to the movement of the earth and moon.

Pupils investigate and research what the space shuttle and ground crews must do to make sure all goes well from liftoff to landing each time the shuttle leaves earth.

In this ISS-Orbit worksheet, students read about the International Space Station and determine the altitude of the station on April 2009 given the re-boosting necessary to prevent the Space Station from burning up in the atmosphere.

Students observe the position of an object in the sky by describing its location relative to another object or the background, describe an object's motion by tracing and measuring its position over time, and create their own myths about...

Pupils examine how spacecraft land on Mars. Using eggs or lightbulbs, they design a craft that withstand a drop from a table or ladder, competing in groups to see which module demonstrates the most successful landing.

In this addition and time activity, 2nd graders practice solving 2 word problems involving jungle animals, addition and time increments.

Learners identify constellations in the evening sky. In this Sky Quest lesson, students create their own star patterns using a star map worksheet. Learners explain how different celestial bodies in space are viewed through a telescope.

Students explore space science by participating in a shadow experiment. In this sky observation instructional activity, students identify how the sun creates different sized shadows by moving across the horizon. Students utilize yard...

Students research the distances between objects in the Milky Way. In this astronomy instructional activity, students calculate the time it would take for a robot to travel from Milky Way object to another. They create a travel package...

Students play a game relating to outer space. This game can be adapted for higher grades.

High schoolers explore, examine, experiment and study the energy believed to exist in the vacuum of space called zero-point energy. They design and build a machine and then place their machines to test zero-pointed energy into a...

Students explore space science by participating in a constellation identification activity. In this astronomy instructional activity, students view star charts based on the different seasons and define a list of astronomy related terms....

In this space science worksheet, students find the data that is needed to help them acquire the knowledge concerning sunspots through observation and data collection.

In this math activity, students examine the position of an object and then use the formulas to determine its path over time. Then they apply the information in order to determine the traveling path of an asteroid in space.

Learners learn about the planets by creating a MediaBlender travel brochure. In this space science worksheet, students do research on a planet and create an interactive brochure for a visit to this planet. Learners include facts about...

Students 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.

Learners compose eight measures of music after they practice interpreting time/signature meter.

Students investigate the different types of sundials and their history.  In this shadows and time of day lesson students build their own sundials. 

Learners compare and contrast images of the sun taken at different times and viewed at different scales. They record their observations in a journal and create a graphic organizer to help analyze their observations.

Learners read a story. In this telling time lesson plan, students complete a worksheet where they must practice their knowledge of telling time. Learners read a fable and answer time questions as they read.
