Shape the Eclipse Lab: Craft Your Pinhole Viewer with TinkerCAD!
On Oct.24, 2024 their will be an annular solar eclipse that will be viewable over the continental US! NASA released a 3D printable pinhole viewer for the USA. But they also released an activity to see if the size and shape of the pinhole affects the shape of the eclipse! In just a few steps, students can design and create their pinhole viewers, making this lab the ideal hands-on activity to witness this celestial event safely.Key Highlights: Solar Eclipse Ready: Prepare for the solar eclipse and

SFA Star Charts Lab Activity
Use star maps to learn about the universe!The SFA Star Charts are four maps representing the entire sky. The maps were created by Dr. Dan Brurton of Stephen A. Austin State Observatory, and can be downloaded at the following Internet site: http://observe.phy.sfasu.edu/The SFA Star Charts display most of the stars in the sky visible to unaided human vision under a dark, moon-free sky (down to magnitude 5), and also many of the interesting deep sky objects visible in small telescopes.

Cratering Inquiry Lab
In this lab, students investigate how factors affect craters by modelling impacts using modelling clay as meteors/asteroids and plaster of Paris as the surface of a planet or moon. Students design an experiment to observe how changing that factor affects crater size or shape.

3D model of a Comet w/ Peppermints
A 3D model of a comet brings the lesson from the textbook to life for your students. You can make this with any available art supplies, or you can make edible ones out of candy.I went to the manager of the local Sonic and asked for a bag of the peppermints they give out with each order. These peppermints became the nucleus for many of the students models. You can expand with this project into other models of objects in the universe.

Eclipse Demonstration Activity
Looking for a way to engage your high school astronomy students in outreach? I developed this lesson as a way to have students research solar eclipses and then show their understanding by creating an activity that could be used during a school STEM event. This is a pretty basic plan, but I hope that it can help any Astronomy teachers out there!
