Universe Slime

Aside from using telescopes to view galaxies far away, Space Place helps bring the universe into the palm of your hand. NASA Space Place has a recipe for stretchy universe slime to help your campers learn about our ever-expanding universe.

Cloud Mobile

Teach your campers about four kinds of clouds with Space Place’s cloud mobile! In this activity, your campers will design a cloud mobile with cumulonimbus, cirrus, cumulus, and nimbostratus clouds, and even sparkling rain showers! Be sure to hang your cloud mobiles outdoors to see the campers’ creation twist and turn in the breeze.

The Latest from Space Place

Did you or your campers know that NASA’s involvement spreads far beyond our universe? NASA is hard at work in your home state, too! Our newest activity, NASA in the 50 States, serves as a great tool to learn about NASA’s involvement across the United States. In this interactive online map, your campers can click on their home state — or any state — to learn about how each state collaborates with NASA.
