Astronomy and Space Science

In this activity, students will test different "alien soil samples" for signs of life.

Learners will build their very own crater and test different sized balls from various heights to see how their crater size may differ.

Students will learn about stars and create a "constellation viewer" where they can create a constellation to look at.

Students are given an unlabeled picture of a night sky and asked to find the constellations in it.

Learners will build their very own telescope and experience what it's like to look at different objects through a telescope lens.

Students will do a variety of activities listed on their "Summer Time Bucket List" and try to check off as many activities as possible over the course of the summer break.

Read "There's No Place Like Space" (or a similarly themed storybook) and learn about the Solar System by making a pocket diagram of the planets.

This activity consists of coding and engineering/physics problems that students go through on how to launch a rocket and get to Mars.

Build, launch and test a glider made of paper, a straw and an elastic.

A virtual interview with a scientist where volunteers lead an interactive session about themselves, their interest in science, their career path, etc.

This is a Kahoot that includes 68 questions ranging from easier questions - what animal lays an egg: duck - to harder ones - if a meteor lands on the ground is it hot to touch - to highlight many misconceptions that exist across a variety of science topics!

Learn about the importance of constellations and moon phases and how adaptations play a role in our survival on Earth.

In this workshop, students will learn about and experience the challenges of Space Exploration using un-manned space probes, with specific focus on exploring Mars.

Learn media literacy skills including the recognition of "fake news", critically analyze sources of information, and understand the impact of science communication on our lives
