Scale Model of the Solar System: Inner and Outer Planets in Order
Are you studying the Solar System? Do you wonder how planets compare in terms of size and distance? This is the SMALLEST scale model that you can make and still be able to see the planet Mercury without a magnifying glass—and NO, it won't fit on a football field! You can place the inner planets anywhere, but to include the outer planets you might need to expand into the neighborhood.Questions Addressed❑ Which two planets are nearest to each other?❑ How much farther from Earth is Mars than the

CER Investigation into Seasons
Activity Objective: The students will be able to gather evidence that supports the claim that Earth's position in its revolution affects the seasons we experience on earth. 1. Students will gather data from multiple points around the world and seperate the data into Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. 2. Students will analyze data and calculate the number of hours of sunlight the location receives.3. Students will evaluate the data and and their knowledge of what causes seasons to defen

The Star Life Cycle Game - MakeCode Arcade
This game that students can play with their Microsoft or Google accounts can be used as a fun way to review the lecture or lesson you gave on the life cycle of a star. It takes students from a nebula collecting gas, to a main sequence or supermassive star lineage, and then has them die as a black hole, neutron star, or white dwarf - just like you taught them a real star does!The game takes about 3 minutes to fully play through and your students can explore three different endings for a total of

Bare Bones Astrophysics, Part 2: Force and Motion in Outer Space
It’s hard to imagine what’s pushing all the gigantic objects in outer space around, but in fact, the forces at work out there are the same down here on Earth with everyday things we can pick up and hold. In Bare-bones Astrophysics Part 2, I've come up with several activities that can demonstrate how two major forces in the Universe—Gravity and The Gyroscopic Force--control the way objects move in Space.The lesson begins with an overview of gravity, how it holds objects in orbit, changes the dire

Making Moon Craters
Student will perform a simple lab where they are asked to use balls of similar size but different masses to make craters in flour pans as a representation of the Moon's surface. Each ball represents one of the three main types of meteorites and students ultimately try to identify the type of meteorite responsible for one of the more distinctive craters on the Moon.
Once the foundation is laid, students are asked to design their own experiment exploring other aspects of meteorite impacts and cr
