It was space week in the Nature room!
We started the week in astronaut training. We discussed what would be different in space than on Earth.
"In space, you float!"
Talking to preschoolers about gravity can be extremely entertaining! I asked if they could describe what gravity is. Here are a few of their answers:
"Earth sucks your feet down."
"So you don't fall up into the sky."
"Gravity keeps you from going way up in the air."
"When I jump, gravity makes me go down again."
"Without gravity, things can not fall."
"You can't see it, but it's still there, all the time."
"I've been trying to explain gravity all week at my house!"
As future astronauts, we began by training our bodies to be physically fit and healthy. We worked on balance...
strength...
and endurance.
We also worked on teamwork and cooperation while completing a mission (puzzle).
We also built balloon rockets!
Our astronauts-in-training had so much fun!
