RE: Exploring Space, The Solar System, and A Bit of Space Junk
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
One of the museum type places/educational centres down the road a fair way from me had a scale model solar system walk that we went on with the kids and J's parents. You started at a sculpture of the sun (which was close to the main building) and walked along a track about the width of a single lane road finding planet and moon sculptures along the way. I don't remember if we managed to walk the whole thing (the kids were quite small at the time) but I do remember it was a very long walk XD
I'm trying to remember if I've encountered this website you're talking about previously, I thought I hadn't but then as I was reading your description, especially about the quotes that are in the huge bits of space between planets, and it's sounding familiar but if I have it would have been a while ago. May be worth another visit soon ;D
Having interchangable roles and learning together is the best :D
Oh! That museum sounds fun! It's good because it can give a better perspective than how we see them illustrated in books. I'm not sure there's such a museum nearby us so we'll settle for a virtual solar system tour for now. :D
My eldest was too keen to finish scrolling, but the younger two weren't too interested they got bored halfway through to Jupiter. lol
In fairness to them there's a LOT of space between planets once you get past Mars XD
