About This Activity
3-6 year olds: Count down to the New Year, space style! Children watch the stars come alive in the planetarium, launch paper rockets, and spin like planets in orbit games. They learn to read a clock, make their own countdown clock, and ring in the New Year with a cosmic celebration. 7-12 year olds: Students explore how space gives us time itself. They discover how Earth's rotation creates our days, master reading analogue clocks, and build a countdown clock for the New Year. A planetarium show, rocket-building challenge and orbit games bring astronomy and physics to life before a cosmic celebration.
