Kindergarteners Explore Solar System and Tinkering at Chabot Space & Science Center

The kindergarten field trip to Chabot Space and Science Center on December 17 was an exciting part of the science unit on outer space and the solar system. Students explored the exhibits, looked through telescopes, sat in a rocket, climbed into a black hole, and saw lots of space memorabilia. Kindergarteners saw the IMAX movie The Cardboard Rocket, about children who take a trip through space to visit each planet. They also had the opportunity to visit the Chabot Space and Science Center’s new space, Project Create, a tinkering and making space for all ages.
 
“The students were so excited to build things and be hands-on in the Project Create space,” says teacher Emma Larson. “Because they do CREATE here at Brandeis, they were really comfortable and skilled with tinkering and making at Chabot. They jumped right in, taking apart typewriters and computers, among other things.” MORE PHOTOS
