There is a whole universe out there waiting to be explored! Join us on an adventure that starts right here on Earth and ends beyond the Solar System in order to answer the question, “Where are we?” This adventure will explore the planets and other objects in our Solar System before setting our course for other planets around other stars on other galaxies. Investigate what kind of life might exist on these other planets, and find out what it would take for us to go on a vacation to visit them! In this workshop, you will not only learn about some of the mysteries of our universe, but you will also receive ready-to-use classroom activities that are aligned with state and national standards in K-8 mathematics, science, language arts, and social studies.
