Join us for some fun with the sky, and
complete a badge at the same time! This 2.5-hour workshop will
provide Juniors with the knowledge, materials, and encouragement
to complete their Space Science badge. In this inquiry-based
workshop, Juniors will build on their space science knowledge
by:
* Making hypotheses about the solar system
* Testing their hypotheses in creating a solar system scale
model
* Learning that a year on Earth may not be the same as
a year on other planets
* Creating their own way of
measuring distances
* Completing a heat shield
experiment
* Learning about fellow women space scientists
while seeing the sky in a planetarium show
By the end
of this two-and-a-half hour workshop, Junior girl scouts will have
completed and receive their Space Science Investigator Badge. Cost
of the badge is included in this program.
Cost: $18
per Girl Scout, $7 per Adult
This is not a drop off
program - an adult or affiliated troop leader must be registered
with your Girl Scout or troop. This event takes place at the
Treworgy Planetarium in Mystic, CT.
