Missions of discovery await your young astronomers with the interactive laboratories, multimedia encyclopedia, visual database, and challenging educational game in A Field Trip to the Sky. Research in the Sun and Moon Labs Students can explore Sun-Earth-Moon relationships with two engaging labs. In the Sun Lab, students view the Earth, Sun, and sky from 5 perspectives to discover why night follows day, why there are seasons, the relationship between sun and shadows, and more. In the Moon Lab, 5 displays of the Earth, Sun, Moon, and sky enable students to investigate eclipses, phases of the moon, and tides. Visit the Planets Your students can visit any of the planets, the Moon, or the Sun. Each body has an illustrated Field Guide as well as a multimedia Album. In the Field Guide, students learn the basics for each body: composition, atmosphere, orbit, gravity, and more. There's also a History section where students explore how past civilizations - like the Maya - perceived planetary bodies, and links to the Glossary for definitions. The multimedia Album provides a visual context for the astronomical concepts found in each Field Guide with a wide array of NASA video and out-of-this-world photos. Save A Spaceship! Students test their new knowledge in an exciting game to rescue a lost spaceship. It's an adventure your class won't want to miss - so put on your spacesuits and take A Field Trip to the Sky.
