Explore
the Solar System! introduces kids aged 6 to 9 to
the planets, moons, and other celestial bodies that surround
our star the sun- as well as the universe beyond.
Through a hands-on approach to history and science, kids
investigate solar eclipses, phases of the moon, Jupiter’s
rings, and what astronauts wear. Who named the stars?
What is the Milky Way? Why is there night? While discovering
the answers to these questions and more, kids will have
lots of fun with activities that range from creating an
origami model of the solar system to playing a race-to-the-moon
board game. Projects are easy to follow, require minimal
adult supervision, and use common household products and
recycled supplies. The hands-on element, combined with
riddles, jokes, fun facts, and comic cartoons invites
kids to Explore the Solar System! and have a
blast along the way. |
