Wondering - Have you ever looked at the night sky and wondered, "What else is out there?" Space exploration is a natural extension of human curiousity. People want to know what is outside their world. The Universe is everything that exists. The Earth is part of the Universe. So are the Sun, the Moon, and all the planets. Your children will have an opportunity to satisfy some of their curiousity as they learn and explore about space travel, astronauts, planets, stars, the Moon, the Sun, and our Solar System with our space crafts, activities, songs and games.

A planet goes around a star. Eight planets goaround the Sun. The Sun and its planets are called the solar system.
The planets are all different. Jupiter is big and Mercury is little. Venus is hot and Neptune is cold. Saturn has lots of rings. Many planets have moons. A moon goes around a planet. Earth has one moon. We call it the moon. Some planets have lots of moons
Our solar system consists of an average star we call the Sun, the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. It includes: the satellites of the planets; numerous comets, asteroids, and meteoroids; and the interplanetary medium.
The Sun is the richest source of electromagnetic energy (mostly in the form of heat and light) in the solar system. The whole solar system, together with the local stars visible on a clear night, orbits the center of our home galaxy, a spiral disk of 200 billion stars we call the Milky Way.

# data[].attributes.body
The Sun is a star that gives us light and heat. If the Sun wasn't there it would be night all the time because space is black.
Our Sun is a huge, spinning star made of hot gas. It looks bigger than other stars because it is so close to us, but all stars are enormous.
The Sun was formed by thick clouds of dust and gas. It became a glowing ball of gas that is hottest in the middle. The surface of the Sun bubbles and boils
Note: Never look straight at the Sun. Its strong light can hurt your eyes
http://nineplanets.org/sol.html
What do the children feel and see when it's a sunny day. The air gets warmer, wet streets dry, etc.
What do the children think if the sun's rays fall to Earth like rain. The sun shines on the Earth giving off light and heat.

# data[].attributes.body
The Sun is a big star. We live on a planet called Earth which goes around the Sun. The Sun shines in the sky. It gives our planet light.

The Moon is a big ball of rock that glows in the night sky. Light from the Moon shines on different parts of the Moon. From Earth, it looks like the Moon changes shape.
The Moon is the second brightest object in the sky after the Sun. As the Moon orbits around the Earth once per month, the angle between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun changes; we see this as the cycle of the Moon's phases.
The moon has many mountains, valleys, old volcanoes, and many craters (the dents in the Moon are called craters). The moon is great to explore because it can be seen it without a telescope or binoculars.
Recite moon rhyme and ask children to imagine the different faces of the moon. Explain that it seems that the moon changes shape. This is because, as it orbits Earth, different parts of the moon facing us are lit up by the sun's light. Moon "phases" occur when Earth blocks some, or all of the sunlight that reflects from the moon's surface.

# data[].attributes.body
The Moon is a ball of rock that goes around and around the Earth. As the Moon moves, the Sun lights up different part of it. This is why the Moon seems to change shape in the night sky.
The children making The Moon with circle shape.

# data[].attributes.body
It is not very often we can watch the phases of the Moon change in a few minutes, as they do here overhead. In the real world you notice the shape of the Moon changing over the course of a few weeks. Phases are the different shapes the Moon appears to have during the night and day. They are a result of the ever-changing arrangement of the Sun, Moon, and Earth.
Wondering - read the book and wonder about the phases of the Moon
Show the different moon phases using the moon chart. Have children place the phases in order.

When the Sun shines behind the Moon, you can't see its light side. It called a New Moon.
Sometimes you can only see part of the Moon. This is called a Crescent Moon.
When the Sun lights up the whole side of the Moon, you can see a Full Moon.

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the sixth largest.
Venus is a rocky planet with clouds, just like Earth. but Venus's clouds are very poisonous.
Venus' orbit is the most nearly circular of that of any planet, with an eccentricity of less than 1%.

We live on the earth where is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest.
71 Percent of the Earth's surface is covered with water. Earth is the only planet on which water can exist in liquid form on the surface.
The Earth travels around the Sun and spins as it moves, but we can't feel it moving. It takes a whole year for the Earth to travel around it.
Day and night
The parts of Earth facing the Sun have day. Parts that light doesn't reach have night. As Earth turn, different parts have day or night. When it gets dark where you live, it is just getting light on the other side of Earth.
Do you know the name of planet we live on?
Show a solar system poster. Let children find Earth.
Movement Activity
Glue a sun and a moon to a craft stick. Hold up the moon and ask children what time of day we see the moon. Then let children pretend to be sleeping. Next, ring a little bell and show the sun. Let children slowly wake and walk around. After a while hold up the moon again. Repeat a couple of times.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes it's day and sometimes it's night. That's because Earth turns. When your place on Earth turn toward the Sun, you see the light from the Sun. This is day. When your place turns away from the Sun, you don't see light from the Sun. This is night. Then Earth turns and it's day again.
Show children a globe. Find your state on the globe and shine a flashlight on it. Explain that the flashlight is the sun and when the earth faces the sun where we live, it's daytime.
Explain that the Earth rotate around its axis once in a day. Let one child hold the flashlight and slowly turn the globe until your state is at the opposite of the light. Explain that when the earth rotates away from the sun, it will get darker and darker and it becomes nighttime.

An astronaut or cosmonaut is a person trained by a human spaceflight program to command, pilot, or serve as a crew member of a spacecraft. Although generally reserved for professional space travelers, the terms are sometimes applied to anyone who travels into space, including scientists, politicians, journalists, and tourists.
Astronauts travel to space to collect information for scientist to study. Astronauts sometimes also have to fix spacecrafts once they're in space. Living in space is very different from living on Earth. Here on Earth we are surrounded by air, but there is no air in space, which is why astronauts need to wear spacesuits and helmets. Also in space nothing has weight and you need to wear a spacesuit to go outside the spaceship.
The Spacesuits
Spacesuits are very bulky and very thick. They protect the astronaut from the sun's heat and the cold. The spacesuit has a backpack that contains air to breathe. The helmet has a dark visor to shield the astronaut from the sun's glare. The space shoes are heavy help to the astronaut to walk on the moon. (Make our sponge space shoes.)

Living in Space

Astronauts sleep in sleeping bags that hold them down, so that they do not float away while they're sleeping. Eating and drinking is tricky in space. You can't drink from a cup because liquid won't stay and will float around. Astronauts drink through a straw from a plastic pack, and space food is sticky so it sticks to the plates. (Snack idea: Make some space drinks using plastic bags and drinking straws.)

Satellites, Rockets and The Space Shuttle

# data[].attributes.body
Satellites

Satellites are spacecrafts that we have sent to space to collect information from a planet and radio them back to Earth. We also use satellites to beam information and TV programs around the world.

Rockets

We use rockets to carry astronauts and things into space. Rockets are the only engines that can give enough power and speed to get the spacecraft into space. The fuel burning in the engine rushes out of the nozzle and pushes the rocket forward. Just like if you blow a wrapper from a straw. (See our straw rocket activity to explain and experience the science behind it.)

The Space Shuttle

The space shuttle can lift off into space just like a rocket and then come back to Earth like a huge glider. When the shuttle returns to Earth through the atmosphere, it gets very hot. Special tiles protect the spaceship from the heat so that it doesn't burn up and can be used again for the next space flight.

Look up the sky on a clear night. Do you see stars?
Stars are bright ball of gas, like the Sun. Stars are much bigger than they look from the Earth. Some stars make pictures in the sky. These are called constellations.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Constellations are patterns of stars in the sky that skygazers have used since antiquity to navigate and learn about space. Sort of like a game of cosmic connect-the-dots, stargazers draw lines between dots of bright stars to form familiar shapes. Some stars are much brighter than others, but the brightest stars in a constellation are visible to the unaided eye, so it's possible to see constellations without the use of a telescope.

There are 88 officially recognized constellations, visible at different times throughout the year. Each season has distinctive star patterns because the stars we see in the sky change as Earth orbits the Sun. The Northern and Southern Hemisphere skies are very different from each other, and there are some patterns in each that cannot be seen between hemispheres.

The easiest way to learn the constellations is to see them in seasonal charts for both north and south latitudes. Northern Hemisphere seasons are the opposite for Southern Hemisphere viewers, so a chart marked "Southern Hemisphere winter" represents what people south of the equator can see in their winter. At the same time, Northern Hemisphere viewers are experiencing summer, so those southern winter stars are actually summer stars for northerners. In general, most people can see about 40-50 constellations over the course of a year.

Helpful Tips for Reading Charts

Keep in mind that many star patterns do not look like their names. Andromeda, for example, is supposed to be a lovely young lady in the sky. In reality, however, her stick figure is more like a curved V extending from a box-shaped pattern. People use this V to find the Andromeda Galaxy.

Also, remember that some constellations cover large parts of the sky while others are very small. For example, Delphinus, the Dolphin is tiny compared to its neighbor Cygnus, the Swan. Ursa Major is medium-sized but very recognizable. People use it to find Polaris, our pole star.

It's often easier to learn groups of constellations together, so you can draw connections between them and use them to locate each other. For example, Orion and Canis Major and its bright star Sirius are neighbors, as are Taurus and Orion.

Successful stargazers "star hop" from one constellation to another using bright stars as stepping stones. The charts included in this article show the sky as seen from latitude 40 degrees North at around 10 p.m. in the middle of each season. They give the name and general shape of each constellation.

Good star chart programs or books can provide a lot more information about each constellation and the treasures it contains. Finally, most of the patterns we see in the following charts are based on the stick figures taught by H.A. Rey in his book " Find the Constellations" and are used in many other books as well.
