After Gratitude Circle, we played a game of Eagle Eye. Then we discussed why Polar Days and Polar Nights occur (6 months of darkness and 6 months of constant daytime on Earth’s poles because of the tilt of the Earth's axis). Next we explored what might happen to wildlife in Georgia if this were to occur here and played a Polar Nights and Days relay. There were 6 parts of a food chain on the field that they had to find and put in order from the sun to producers to consumers. T

We started with Gratitude Circle and then played Bibbity Bibbity Bop. Next we did the first step in an art project to create their own constellation. As the paint dried, we discussed what a star and constellation is and acted out four constellation myths (Ursa Major and Minor, Bootes, Scorpius and Cassiopeia) as they found and marked the constellation on their “June 2026 Sky Chart”. They will take the chart home with them so they can try and find the constellations we learne

After Gratitude Circle, we discussed moon phases and played Simon Says Moon Phases since today focuses on the Moon. Next we discussed the Giant Impact Hypothesis for How the Moon possibly formed. Then we played Among Us on the Moon (various tasks spread across Little Rose needed to be completed to fix their spaceship and return safely to Earth). After the game, we took a snack break and went to the obstacle course. Then we talked about past, current and future missions to t

After starting with Gratitude Circle, we a couple rounds of “Daytime/ Nighttime” (similar to red light green light but with a strategic twist involving a nocturnal predator (owl) and diurnal squirrels trying to get acorns back to their nests. Then we discussed what sunlight is and how it is created through nuclear fusion. To help them grasp the concept we played “Nuclear Fusion Tag” where they had to find and combine Helium cards hidden throughout the field and take them to

We began the morning with a Name game to learn each others’ name. Then we discussed bioluminescence, how it occurs and looked at some bioluminescent jellyfish, worms and fungi local to Georgia (for example the Hawkinsville Glow Worm, Jack O’ Lantern mushrooms and Appalachian glow worms). Then they made their own scratch art over a glow in the dark page. Once it has dried, they will etch a design of their choosing which will glow in the dark. Then we discussed a few local noct
