Kitah Daled Goes to Outer Space!

Kitah Daled goes to Outer Space! Every day we have been discovering different parts of our Solar System. Through art, kinetic work, and social-building activities, we are understanding our galaxy in many different forms. We began looking at the Solar System through our lens as artists. We took note of all the various colors, shapes, and sizes the universe offers. We then took our observations and put them into practice. We created our yummy star constellations out of blueberries, and compared the sizes of the planets. We would demonstrate how large the planets were using our hand motions! As scientists now, we started to ask questions and hypothesize the answers to them. Which planet is the hottest? Maybe Mars because it is red! Why are blue stars hotter than red stars? Maybe because blue is actually more hot than red, like the bottom of the flame on a match! What is the sun made out of? The same gases as a star! With all of our information, we would bring them into our daily activities such as line up and sing along. When it's time to line up, we would line up in the same order as the planets that Orbit the sun! Discuss with your child to learn more about which planet is first in our solar system! To make the whole thing a blast, we had the opportunity to go inside a real space bubble and try to find everything that we learned - Jupiter, the moon, the Big Dipper, Orion's belt, and more!
Throughout this week, Kitah Daled explored our outer space and what made it so special. What unique creations lie beyond the stars, or within them! With their inquisitive minds, and colorful ideas, they would share their thoughts with one another, bouncing collaborative designs off each other. With each idea, came an activity. Some suggested rocket ships for our space travel, and others included space suits to keep us safe during that travel. As a Space Crew, Kitah Daled worked together to make all of us space ready. This is IJP Mission Control, and we are a go!
