Happy Monday everyone! Are you ready to explore what lies just beyond our atmosphere?
Astronomy: the study of planets, stars and the universe. It's a fascinating subject for children and adult. Do you remember when first you became aware of the ether? Was it the stars that caught your eyes; the bright blazing sun; the ever changing shape of the moon; or maybe the view from a plane window, wondering if you can fly even higher?
Like out imagination space is limitless but also like space this is a limited list of experiments, activities, songs, D.I.Y props ideas, and app/website resources. I hope you all enjoy!
