These links are for families who want videos and activities about exploring space. There are also some experiments to do at home.
Structure and features
For families
Watch these 2 short videos. They are:
- part of an IMAX video that shows the Hubble shuttle launch
- a National Geographic video with some facts to introduce the solar system in Solar System 101.
These next links will help families with 2 simple experiments that they can do with children at home. They use everyday items and only take a little preparation. In these experiments families can:
- learn early science concepts by making straw rockets
For teachers
These are good resources to share with children and families that are interested in space. In the experiments children learn about force and trajectory.
