This Escape Room takes on a theme from "The Martian" and features 5 rounds of quiz-like questions covering the Life Cycle of Stars, the basics of an HR Diagram, and the classification of Galaxies. When purchased, you receive access to make copies of the Escape Room slides and questions form so that you can customize and collect the responses from your class. When each round is answered successfully, students are provided with two "hints" in the form of a Hexadecimal Code (just like in the movie

This Webquest briefly compares the planets of our Solar System. The questions are linked to a variety of interactive sites. This assignment can be used as independent work and is great for a remote learning environment. Pique your student's interest in the Solar System with the quick facts covered in this assignment.

This game is great for a unit review or a semester end refresher of the Life Cycle of Stars. Students make their own cards by choosing 16 of the words that are provided on the slide deck. The slides are editable when you make a copy. The answer for each slide is in the “notes” section of the slide. There are 3 versions so that you can play multiple rounds!

This Constellations Webquest is an introductory activity that provides an independent learning opportunity for your science students! The webquest begins with a short video to highlight the history of constellations, followed by an opportunity for your students to take a closer look at a few unique constellations using a Constellations Directory. As a learning extension - invite your students to create a profile for a constellation of their choice and present their findings to the class!

Are your physics or physical science students struggling to understand the difference between mass and weight? This hands on lab offers two parts to help. Part 1: Use a balance and a spring scale to determine the measurements of objects and identify the mathematical relationship between mass and weight (hint: it's acceleration due to gravity). Part 2: Students determine their mass through a simple conversion then calculate their weights on different planets and celestial objects. This activity

This brief, two-page Webquest introduces exoplanets to your astronomy students! Using NASA's interactive website along with the citizen science website, Zooniverse, students will gain an introductory understanding to exoplanets and will practice hands-on experience in exploring systems containing exoplanets. This is a supplementary activity to your lesson - in-class assignment, remote learning assignment, or homework activity.

This assignment was originally planned for an Astronomy class to develop an appreciation for the planning involved in space exploration. Students are challenged to develop a travel plan in a step-by-step process so that they arrive to their destination at a specific time. This assignment is great for encouraging students to apply problem solving skills and encourages them to think outside the box to make their sure their plans are executed in perfect timing. Some algebra is required to complete

Encourage your students to explore the contributions of physicists throughout history with this "Guess Who" style activity that spotlights 24 physicists. This document is editable so that you can change which physicists your students focus on. In the first part of this activity, students collaborate to create summaries of the contributions of their physicists. Then, students put them into categories to help them with the Guess Who Game. After playing the Guess Who, students will reflect on the c
