To space and beyond!

Yesterday we spent more time discussing outer space and more specifically space exploration.  The kids got an up close, or as up close as you can get to a planet that is light years away, by exploring the Hubble Telescope website and its discoveries.  Take a look for yourself HERE!


I was really proud of the "teachable moments" that the students provided as we discussed various scopes and cameras which brought about discussion of the various rays that exists.  We also discussed the dated materials and how we need to pay attention to the most current information when researching.  However, we concluded that some space information may be older than we are because it takes years to collect.
