Space Explorers

Year Group: 3/4

Subject: Science 

A popular one-day workshop featuring a fascinating mix of space, stars, and fun with the chance to hold part of an asteroid!  The day includes a study of the heavens and an exploration of the Solar System.  Before that, we look closer to home and discover why we have seasons, leap years and why the Moon looks different every night.  Our special guest will be a large piece of the Campo Del Cielo meteorite that fell to Earth over 4500 years ago!

Students will have the chance to examine the meteorite and use a special observatory-grade telescope to view the Sun as it will be daylight.  There will also be tips on how to observe the night sky for when you are back at home
