Astronomy is the study of the universe, and since it is such a big place, much of our work in this area focuses on the planets and stars that are visible at night. In most cities, light pollution prevents much of what can be seen from our students eyes, but through playful experiments, art, and demonstrations, we can create an understanding about what goes on above us. As students understand more and more of these concepts, we can begin talking about how weather, seasons, and the amount of daylight we see is affected by what happens in space.
