What’s the difference between a star and a planet? What is the Earth made of? Is there life on other planets? You will explore the answers to these basic questions about space in this engaging Video-CD series. Space Camp provides the setting, while spectacular NASA footage and animation will pique your curiosity and make kids feel like young astronauts. Hands-on activities in each program are ideal for students to use as ideas for science fair projects.
Nothing inspires awe and wonder like stars! And you can pose some pretty awesome questions about them. What are stars? Why are some stars brighter than others? How far away are they? All About Stars answers these questions and more. Children will learn how stars are formed, why they seem to move across our sky and how we have used their patterns to form the constellations. You will discover that the study of stars actually begins very close to home – with our own Sun! With a fun, hands-on activity, you will learn the basic concepts behind an important astronomy tool, the reflecting telescope.
Understanding the wonders of the universe begins at home – on our own planet! All About the Earth gives you a close-up look at what makes the third planet from the sun so special. Why is there life on Earth? What is our planet made of? How does it fit into the rest of the universe? These questions and more are answered in this fun look at planet Earth. You will learn about the Earth’s rotation, its seasons and the layers of the Earth’s atmosphere. You will also learn how to build your own ‘biosphere’ in a fun, hands-on activity that teaches how the Earth’s resources work together to sustain life.
It’s the largest object in the night sky, and it looks different every night – it’s the Moon! All About the Moon gives you a close-up look at the Moon while answering key questions, including: Why does the Moon appear different every night? What does the Moon look like up close? What is it like to walk on the Moon? Could we live on the Moon some day? A fun, hands-on activity will teach you about the different phases of the Moon, and you will learn why there are so many craters on the Moon, but not on Earth.
Of all the things in life that we take for granted, nothing looms larger than…the Sun! All About the Sun will give you a broad understanding of this nearby star that is the centre of our solar system – and why it’s so important to us on Earth! You will discover how the Sun provides us with life-giving light and heat, how it’s responsible for our seasons and weather and why it’s the primary source of energy on Earth. In a fun hands-on activity, you will actually create your own solar oven.
What is a planet? We live on one, but there are others. Are they all like Earth? Is there life on other planets? All About the Planets takes you on a tour of the solar system, explaining vital statistics about each – size, distance from the Sun, temperature and why some are rocky and solid while others are made entirely of gases. A fun, hands-on activity will demonstrate how Saturn’s moons actually create its beautiful rings. You will learn about key terms such as rotation, revolution and orbit. It’s a fun journey – from Mercury to Pluto!
