Build Your Own Planet or Asteroid!
Learn about planets and asteroids! Planets are big and round, while asteroids are small and oddly shaped. Participants will use craft materials to construct their own asteroid to take home, while thinking about the kinds of materials actual asteroids are made from. There will be meteorites for children to look at and to touch, and they will learn about the oldest materials known to humankind.
