2014-09-05 Last Day – Cousins Middle Astronomy

5 September, 2014 (18:31) | Events, Outreach | By: tramakers

The last day this year at Cousins. 4 classes of 6th graders learned a little more about the planets in our solar system and made some great observations on Mars and learned about the size of Olympus Mons by taking a flight through the solar system. They learned about the orbits of astroids and where possibly the two Marsian moons might come from. Learning about the properties of Meteorites and identifying them was fun. All were able to hold a rock out of space in their hands before we closed the sessions. Click the image below to go to the gallery.
