We're taking her to our planetarium on Saturday for the first time. She's beside herself with joy.
Same here, some obsessions come and go, not space.
On tv: NOVA and NOVA now and national geographic channel has great stuff
Books:
Brainwaves She might be too old for this one
Lift the flap space book In fiction, George is the best,
George and the secret key to the universe Also our planetarium gift shop had awesome books
And the ultimate - the Kennedy space center in Florida, was fantastic, plus there are
now going to be shuttles in 5 places, so happy NYC is getting one.
I hope other people have good nonfiction suggestions, I am always stumped, most books seem to offer the same information. Just got one about searching for the goldilocks planet - there is a lot of new stuff on the demotion of Pluto, hunt for exoplanets, from picture books to more advanced telling of the discoveries.
I would love a good textbook but since most schools below college don't do separate years on space I doubt there is one, hmm but now I am thinking I should see what's out there.
This was on the NASA site
Activities And if thinking about an iPad or have one, there are TONS of awesome space, solar system apps, some are really quite beautiful
Also magic school bus has a nice space science kit.
