In a series of fun and involving hands-on astronomy experiments, kids learn how space acts as a heat shield, what causes Saturn’s rings, why both Earth and Mars have cold poles, how to make a star projector, and why the moon shines. They will also determine and demonstrate how the thickness of the atmosphere affects how light is bent, how to simulate solar and lunar eclipses, and how to aim a spacecraft to the moon. Featuring color illustrations and safe, simple step-by-step instructions, Janice VanCleave again shows just how much fun science can be.
