Planetariumm Mannheim Adventure Trip

We joined a homeschool group this morning at the planetarium in Mannheim, Germany. http://www.planetarium-mannheim.de/ We viewed an hour long video, and the kids picked up a bit of info even though the majority of the presentation was way over their heads...and I admit, a bit over mine, too. LOL!!! Some of the things discussed were satellites, the "beginning," stars, light wave lengths, a few of the planets, gas clouds, and Sis's favorite, Red Giants. J slept the whole time. I think it helped that he was in the carrier and the chairs at the planetarium leaned back. This trip seems to have sparked Sis's interest in all things outer space. B already had an interest. I'm hoping that we will try to tackle a Lapbook on space and the planets that I have been wanting to work on for a while now. We started to study space earlier, but other things grabbed B's attention, and we ceased working on it. This seems like as good an opportunity as any to start it back up.


Here we are before the show started.


We were given a DVD with extras to watch at home. That's what we are doing now while I'm working on our blog. Here's a picture of the DVD cover.
