Look up! What do you see? The sun, moon, stars, other planets? Youre checking out the solar system!
The Solar System: Out of This World with Science Activities for Kids invites middle school kids on a journey of a lifetime to explore the comets, meteors, asteroids, sun, planets, and moons that make up the solar system. Kids learn about the history of space exploration and discovery, along with the tools of astronomy that have made it possible to study celestial objects even outside our own solar system. While space seems far away, and really, it is, The Solar System brings it closer to the classroom with fun facts and engaging language kids will find exciting!
Space has been fascinating to humans since we first looked up, and that sense of wonder is still very much a part of a young astronomers experience. As the tools of space exploration become more and more sophisticated, the farther reaches of outer space become accessible to everyone back on Earth. Photos from the rovers on Mars, images of Pluto from New Horizons spacecraft, communications from Comet 67P via the Philae comet probe all bring the solar system up close and personal for anyone with an internet connection.
The Solar System includes hands-on STEM activities and critical thinking exercises related to astronomy and space exploration. Fun facts, links to online primary sources and other supplemental material, and essential questions encourage readers to take a deep dive toward the outer limits of our home!
Nomad Press books integrate content with participation. Common Core State Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards, and STEM Education all place project-based learning as key building blocks in education. Combining content with inquiry-based projects stimulates learning and makes it active and alive. Nomads unique approach simultaneously grounds kids in factual knowledge while allowing them the space to be curious, creative, and critical thinkers.

Have you ever stared up at the night sky? You likely saw a fantastic light show with stars twinkling above and the moon shining like a spotlight. Maybe you wished that you could stand on the moon. Or perhaps you thought how amazing it would be to visit another planet.
Our solar system is made up of planets, moons, and many other types of space objects. If theyre so far away, how do we learn about them? In ancient times, people made up stories to explain how the stars, moon, and sun moved in the sky. The ancient Egyptians told myths about Re, the sun god. He sailed across the sky each morning bringing light to the world. The Japanese saw the sun as the goddess Amaterasu Omikami. The Norse believed that the sun and moon rode in chariots through the sky.
