We reached out again to the 4th grade students of Mrs Thompson at East Newton Elementary school. The students were able to observe the Sun, learned about the relative sizes of the planets and how far the orbits are away from the sun. Inside they learned about the solarsystem and also about Mars and its small moons. they learned how little it takes to propell into space from Mars’ moons and what it takes to excape the gravity from earth. They were very great students and eager to learn. When we left we were presented with about 50 thanks you notes.
Thanks East Newton for a great experience.
