Earth & Space Lab during April School Vacation

Monday & Wednesday April 19 & 21; 11:30am & 1pm

Interstellar Explorations: Simulate your own exploding star with Nebula Spin Art. Then, see how nature recycles this interstellar dust as you build gas giant planets or stars. To explore the moon and the rest of our solar system, including Mars, we’ll need rockets and rovers. You’ll design, build, and test just like a NASA scientist. Finally, discover how a meter of paper tape can help you understand scale by making your own Pocket Solar System.

Tuesday, Thursday & Friday April 20, 22, & 23; 11:30am & 1pm

Moon Adventure: Explore craters by making your own. Learn why would we want to land near a Moon crater. Then take on the Moon Adventure Game. Can your crew solve a series of challenges based on real NASA science to save your Moonbase?

CCMNH is proud to offer these NASA-developed activities thanks to a materials grant and partnership with the National Informal STEM Education Network.  This week is a pilot program for the grant. It is Free with Museum Admission on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Sign up your small group (3-6 crew) for Interstellar Explorations or a Moon Adventure.
Each of these hands-on interactive programs lasts 40 minutes.
Age appropriate 8 years and up; Adults welcome

Participants MUST Register in Advance. To sign up for open slots please call 508-896-3867, ext. 133
