Space Station Wonders
Grades K-3
Length of program: 60 minutes

This program is for young students who wonder what it’s like to be an astronaut on the International Space Station. They will learn about how astronauts get into space, and what they do once they arrive there. They will find out why living and working in space can be much more difficult than doing so here on Earth. Students will be given the chance to do hands-on experiments and activities that are inspired by an astronaut’s life in space.
