If you are a real space fan you can extend your learning at the Kids Astronomy Academy!!
This creative problem solving unit is all about the mystery, the science, the challenges, and the excitement of space exploration. It covers the history of astronomy from ancient times until 2010 and from here and now into the future. Students will learn about the Space Race from the V-2 rockets of WWII to the Cold War and the launch of the Russian satellite Sputnik. They will learn about NASA, the Mercury and Apollo missions, the American moon landings, the shuttle program, the International Space Station, and the Hubble space telescope. The astronomers, NASA engineers, and astronauts we will learn about were creative problem solvers that had to overcome many challenges to make their dreams of space exploration become reality. Scientists are learning so much right now about our solar system; it is much larger than we thought even a few decades ago. We’ll learn about the planets and their moons, asteroids, meteoroids, comets, the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. New discoveries about the possibilities of life elsewhere in our solar system and beyond are very exciting. It will be up to today’s students, the next generation, to use their creative problem solving skills to expand our knowledge of the universe and maybe even to colonize other planets, if they dare.
