Explore the vast reaches of space and mankind’s continuing efforts to conquer the stars, including theories such as the Big Bang, the International Space Station, plus what the future holds for space travel and exploration.

LIVES OF THE STARS – 1 hour, sets of 12, $6/student
The children discover how the stars shine through nuclear fusion while participating in a classroom star cluster to observe the birth and death of stars of different colors and sizes. Each child will also build a “Star Clock” to follow the life cycle of small, medium, and large stars from their formation through their end as a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole.

EARTH AND MOON – 1 hour, sets of 12, $6/student
The children will discover that the Moon does not make light of its own, but rather it reflects the Sun’s light. Through the use of flash cards and an interactive game, they will see what causes the Moon to seem to change shape as it goes through its different phases. As the children build a scientific model of Earth and the Moon, they will learn that the Moon is a natural satellite of Earth that is attracted to Earth by a special force called gravity.

SOLAR SYSTEM – 1 hour, sets of 12, $6/student
The children will learn important facts about the Sun, the four inner planets, the asteroid belt, and the five outer planets as they build a solar system board.

STAR WINDOWS – 1 hour, sets of 12, $6/student
The children will learn about constellations as they create a class constellation out of cardstock stars and make a seasonal star chart. Then they will construct a fiber optic Constellation Cube showing two constellations in the night sky: Ursa Major and Cassiopeia.
