Students walk marked paths as they simulate the orbit of the planets.  In this solar system activity, students recognize the relationship between the sun and the planets.  Students visualize how the phases of the moon are seen.

Students analyze data to make hypotheses and conclusions regarding the predator/prey relationship between moon snail and surf clams.

Pupils explore and explain how moon snails eat and where the holes in clamshells come from and then draw conclusion from the data collected. They incorporate math and graphing skills to determine if there is a relationship to a clam's...

Students explore space science by creating a planetary model in class. In this solar system lesson, students identify the many planets and moons that make up the solar system and decide on one entity in which to research. Students create...

Students explore predator/prey relationships. They research information on moon snails and claims. Students draw conclusions from the data collected. They use math and graphing to determine if there is a relationship to the clam's size...

Let there be light—or maybe not. Pupils learn about light pollution with an investigation of constellations. They create constellation boxes and experiment with different levels of light. Observations are then made about the lighting in...

Students examine the solar space program and research what options are the most viable.  In this solar system lesson students view a video on the solar system, research the Internet and make recommendations. 

Young scholars, in groups, research a planet from our solar system. They create Styrofoam models of the planets and place the planets on a correct distance scale from the sun.
