Earth and Space K to 2 Enquire Now 🌍 Earth & Space: Observable Changes Earth, Space & Weather Exploring Seasons, Daily Cycles and Atmospheric Science It’s all about the seasons and observable changes! This hands-on workshop is specifically designed for early learners to explore the daily and seasonal cycles that govern our world. From the Earth’s tilt to the formation of spinning clouds, students gain a deep appreciation of the environment they experience every day. Through interactive demonstrations and atmospheric experiments, we investigate why daylight hours shift throughout the year and how we measure the ever-changing weather. It’s an engaging introduction to Earth science that turns “why?” into “wow!” Key Investigations: Seasons & Tilt: Why is the Earth tilted and how does it change our year? Daily Cycles: Discover how daylight length shifts between Summer and Winter. Meteorology: How do clouds form and what tools do we use to measure weather? Vortex Science: Explore the physics behind why some clouds spin. Environmental Impact: Observe how daily changes affect the world around us. 🔭 Looking for Year 3 to 6? Check out our Earth, Sun & Moon workshop for deeper celestial relationships. Education-First Leadership Led by Churchill Fellow Ben Newsome, we ensure complex astronomical and meteorological concepts are accessible and engaging for K-2 students.

Foundation to Level 2 daily and seasonal changes in the weather and the environment can be observed and affect decisions made in everyday life. VC2S2U07 Earth is one of 8 planets in our solar system; observing the sky reveals patterns in the changing positions of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars. VC2S2U08 the way objects move depends on a variety of factors including their size, shape and material. VC2S2U10 pushes and pulls are forces that can change an object’s movement or shape and can be represented in terms of strength and direction. VC2S2U11 experiences can be used as a basis for posing questions to explore observed patterns and relationships, and to make predictions. VC2S2I01 observations, findings and ideas can be shared with others by using everyday and some scientific vocabulary.

Science workshop content What Students Experience: The Earth & Sky Lab Designed for younger students, this workshop turns abstract concepts like “air pressure” and “planetary tilt” into tangible, hands-on discoveries. Students explore the connection between our planet’s movement and the weather we feel every day. 1. Cycles & Seasons We begin by investigating Earth’s tilt. Students use globes and lights to witness how uneven heating creates our seasons and how the rotation of our planet gives us the day and night cycle. 2. The Weather Station At our hands-on stations, students become meteorologists. They measure wind speed, create mini-tornadoes in a bottle, and perform “impossible” air pressure experiments like the upside-down water cup. 3. Atmospheric Physics The finale features high-impact demonstrations. We form real clouds inside a vacuum chamber and use “tea bag rockets” to show how hot air rises, bridging the gap between Earth and Space. Which space workshop or show should I choose?
