How about the coldest? Maybe you’ve wondered if there are volcanoes in space? Join Mrs. Snelling to explore some of the most extreme places in outer space! Students will rotate through several hands-on activities as we think critically about some of the strangest places in our solar system and beyond!\n\n  \nClass #3 –Constellations: Connect the Stars! taught by Mrs. Morgan Bowser \n\nOverview:  Students will explore the night sky and learn about constellations through an engaging mini-lesson and a variety of hands-on activities (such as constructing constellations with toothpicks and marshmallows). Students will learn that constellations are patterns of stars and that people long ago used them to tell stories and find their way. This class is designed to spark curiosity\, creativity\, and a love for the stars!\n\n  \nClass #4 –God’s planets and solar system are out of this world! taught by Mrs. Sami Hoilman \n\nOverview: Did you know that every planet in our solar system is unique? In this out-of-this-world class\, students will explore the different planets and discover what makes each one special—some are hot\, some are icy\, some are rocky\, and some are made of gas! Then\, students will use their creativity to design and build their very own planet. We’ll celebrate the creativity of God’s creation as we imagine what our own planet might look like and create a model to take home!

It is typically a pint sized container for students to fill up\, but that depends on availability. The classes then load onto the hayride wagon where they travel to the dairy barn to see the cow milking process. The dairy barn is not completely functional; however students will still be able to see the cows up close and learn in the dairy barn. \nThere is a farmed themed playground and picnic shelter available. Feel free to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy at the playground. \nPay on site – For students the cost is $11.00 and it’s $8.00 for teachers/chaperones. (Only the kids get to pick strawberries\, so if parents would rather hang back during the tour while a couple parents attend that would be fine).
