Animate lunar phases by creating a flipbook to help you understand the physics behind the moon’s changing appearance in our night sky. All you need is a stapler, scissors, and a piece of paper!
Virtual Starry Night: Moon Lander
“The Eagle has landed.” Explore the physics of moon landing as you engineer and construct a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land on the moon!
Virtual Starry Night: Moon Craters
Have you ever wondered how the moon got its craters? Throw mini “asteroids” at moon dough–a substance that mimics the dusty surface of the moon–to investigate lunar geology and crater formation.
Virtual Starry Night: Paper Rockets
Three… Two… One… BLAST OFF! Explore the aerodynamics behind rockets and see how far you can get yours to soar. Grab a bendy straw, paper, and tape and you are ready for take off.
