To go along with our sun, moon, and stars theme, Theresa did a lesson on astronauts. First, she taught the kids a few facts about rockets and astronauts.
Then we gave her a countdown for the take off of a rocket. Make sure those rocket boosters come off! She told them about all the stages the rockets go through to get to the moon.
Then we had our astronaut training. The kids had to pick up the playdough with a robot arm and open and close a latch with astronaut gloves on.
Time to shoot off a rocket. All the kids had a blast with this project. I think they would have done it all day if we would let them. Even the little ones got a turn.
For a grand finale you should come visit the Huntsville Rocket Center. :-)
