Field Trip to the Challenger Space Center!

On Thursday, January 23, the Tapestry of the Desert Co-op had a fun field trip to the Challenger Space Center, in Peoria AZ.  We gathered together in the morning and had an educational and fun couple of hours exploring the center and learning more about the amazing world God created.  Our first stop was a lesson on energy and prisms.  The kids loved learning how electricity flows through matter--especially our own bodies.  We then went into a super cool room with gigantic foam building blocks.  There the kids were able to create their own space stations.  They were creative and did a great job cooperating with one another to build something pretty remarkable.  Finally the kids were taken to the meteorite room where they were able to learn more about space rocks and they were even able to hold a real meteorite.  It was a fun day and we learned a lot!
