Investigate the importance of the first Moon landing and work like a scientist.
Learners will:
- Celebrate space exploration as an era of world importance by exploring, with us, our fascinating exhibition galleries and discover why Australia played a vital role in the 1969 Moon landing.
- Train just like an astronaut team and learn to drive our mBots for a lunar challenge.
- Think, plan and act like scientists by conducting an experiment to make a semi-elastic material…a bouncy ball to take back to school. It’s messy and fun!
Every school receives:
- The semi-elastic bouncy balls made by the learners to take back to school
- See, Think, Wonder thinking routine lenticular bookmark
- The ‘Sky this Month’ star chart showing where to look for the Moon.
