Mission accepted: bring the Moon to the classroom! That is how we bring our “Not Your Everyday Classroom” motto to life; turning big ideas into hands-on adventures where curiosity takes the lead.
This week, our 4th-grade scientists celebrated World Space Week, an international celebration of science, technology, and their incredible contributions to improving life here on Earth.
And what better way to explore the Moon than by making a few craters of our own? Through a fun learning-through-exploration activity, our young scientists used a marble and a tray of flour to model impact craters. Their mission? To investigate a fascinating question: Does the height of a drop change the size of the crater? With every drop, they observed, compared, tested, and discovered, turning a simple tray of flour into their very own lunar laboratory.
is celebrated each year from October 4–10, following a declaration by the United Nations General Assembly in 1999.
Because sometimes, the best way to reach for the stars is to start with a little flour, a marble, and a whole lot of curiosity. Learning does not have to stay inside the textbook. Sometimes, it looks like a crater on the Moon.
