Program Description
SUMMARY:
In this class, children investigate our sun and other stars in our and other galaxies. They will follow stellar life cycles and view the stars from different angles of the universe. Children will learn the reasons for constellations and practice navigating by the stars. They bring home a Cosmic Disk showing views of our Sun at two different wavelengths of light.

EDUCATIONAL VALUE:
This after-school program introduces children to
stars (including our own) and the galaxies they form. Children learn about the facts on our sun and examine various stellar life cycles. They construct a three-dimensional constellation to understand the location of stars in our and other galaxies. Children learn to navigate by the stars and bring home a Cosmic Disk to encourage their heliophysics studies.
