About This Activity
Little Space Explorer is a hands-on S.T.E.A.M. camp designed for children ages 4 to 6 that introduces the wonders of outer space, our solar system, and the life of an astronaut. Astronomy & Constellations: Campers explore stars and the night sky by using a baking soda and vinegar chemical reaction to make "fizzy stars," designing their own constellation viewers, and plotting star patterns using stickers and chalk. Planetary Science: Young explorers learn about the solar system by molding Earth models out of Play-Doh, crafting colorful galaxy jars, mixing sensory "moon sand," and simulating moon craters outdoors using flour and cocoa powder. Astronaut Training: Participants experience life as a space explorer by crafting their own space helmets, completing an astronaut physical training obstacle course to earn their ID cards, and mixing "astronaut pudding" to simulate eating in a zero-gravity environment. Rockets & Physics: The camp introduces basic physics and Newton's laws of motion through hands-on spacecraft projects, including building straw rockets, designing Alka-Seltzer-powered film canister rockets, and launching foam stomp rockets.
