Take your kids on a trip through the universe as they explore galaxies, solar systems, stars, and more. Watch the short video, then have learners show their knowledge with the included quiz. Supplement the video by having teams build a scale model of the solar system, write a story about a trip through the Milky Way, or research the life cycle of a star. Kids can view the video from any computer with Internet access, so it is a nice way to review concepts at home or at the library.
