Space Websites

To help you in our exploration of Space, I've found some safe, kid-friendly sites for you to explore. Some contain helpful information, other's have interesting facts and some are just for fun!

NASA Kids' Club 
This site is a collection of games to help test your Space knowledge.


Astronomy for Kids
Have you wondered how big the Universe is? Or maybe you're interested in the future of space exploration? Head over to this site to get those answers! The site is filled with in-depth, interesting information plus loads of fun space-themed games. I especially like the 'Solar System' section. When you first click the link, you'll be able to see our solar system and watch each of the planets revolve around the Sun at their different speeds. Go ever further by clicking on a planet to learn more about it!


Space for Kids
If you're like Mr. Carroll, you love to learn lots of new facts. If that's the case try this site, which has dozens of Space topics. Each topic has loads of cool facts. For example: "The Sun’s core is around 13,600,000 degrees Celsius!" These fun facts can make for an excellent resource when we write short paragraphs about the different celestial bodies.
