Monday or Tuesday, Feb. 20 or 21 ~ 9:30am-11:30am
What? I can’t walk on Jupiter or Saturn even though they are huge planets? We will investigate why these planets are so big…and look even closer at the big red spot on Jupiter.
Monday or Tuesday, Mar. 19 or 20 ~ 9:30am-11:30am
Uranus and Neptune might look similar but they are different from each other and the other planets in our solar system. One of these planets appears to wobble as it orbits the sun. They are far away from the Earth but very interesting to explore.
Monday or Tuesday, Apr. 16 or 17 ~ 9:30am-11:30am How does the International Space Station orbit the Earth without falling down…or floating away in space? We will take a journey through space travel with rockets, satellites, spaceships and airplanes.
Monday or Tuesday, May 14 or 15 ~ 9:30am-11:30am
It is a special month for the Earth and Sun. A Solar Eclipse will happen on May 20. It is the first annular (full circle) eclipse to be seen from the United States in 18 years. We will examine the special relationship between the earth, the sun and the rest of our solar system.
Join the Challenger’s Future Space Explorers as we investigate a new space science theme each month. The workshop series is designed for a preschool child and their parent, to add proficiency to the parent/child learning repertoire. Each workshop includes story-time, a thematic science activity and play structured by the week’s themes. Workshop activities are planned for age level appropriate science with the added parent involvement to help nurture the child’s natural curiosity.
Upon arrival your Future Astronaut will receive a Challenger passport to to track each new science discovery! Children that complete all nine adventures will receive a certificate of accomplishment.
