There's little that is more fun to learn about than the solar system. The moon specifically lights a child's face with imagination and possibilities. The moon is part of our weather. It also affects the ocean's tides and is an integral part of storytelling and folk lore. Why not take this beautiful celestial body and spend a full day, or even a week, learning all about the moon?
Is the moon made of cheese? How many people have stood on the moon? What does a moon rock feel like? Will I ever go to the moon? Why does the moon change shape and what is a lunar eclipse? These are just a few of the questions your young students may have for you.
