This experiment is about shadows. When you shine a light on an opaque frame, the light will take the shape of the frame because light cannot travel through opaque materials. You will need a flashlight, cardboard or thick paper, and scissors to cut the cardboard into a shape without cutting through the frame. Then you shine the flashlight on the cutout shape to see its shadow on the wall.

Big systems
A system is a set of connected parts that form a complex whole. The more parts a system has, the more complex it is. Examples of systems discussed include transportation systems like tram lines, bus routes, and trains working together, as well as waste management systems involving garbage trucks, landfills, recycling trucks, recycling plants, compost collectors, and compost being returned to soil. Students are challenged to create posters about complex systems, including the name of the system and its parts.
Traveling Light Experiment
Nathan introduces an experiment called "Traveling Light" that demonstrates how light travels in a straight line and reflects off mirrors. The experiment uses 4 mirrors attached to a surface with blue tack and a light source. Learners shine the light on the first mirror and can observe how the light reflects from mirror to mirror in a straight line. Keeping the mirrors straight is important for the light to travel as intended.
Periscope
This document provides instructions for building a simple periscope out of cardboard and mirrors. It explains that two cardboard rectangles should be glued together to form a box, with mirrors glued inside, and two more cardboard rectangles attached on the outside to form a viewing area. When looking through one end, the mirrors allow the user to see objects that would otherwise be blocked by viewing them through reflection. The periscope demonstrates how reflection using mirrors works to bounce light and allow the user to see around corners or obstacles.
Alexis saturn
Saturn is an orange gas giant made mostly of hydrogen and helium. It has a system of wide, flat rings made of ice and rock particles. Saturn also has many moons, including one called Titan that is larger than the planet Mercury. The document describes Saturn's physical features like its rings and storms, as well as fun facts about its size and composition compared to Earth. It also shares a story from the perspective of a girl named Sara who lives on Saturn.
Spacecraft bryce
The document is a poem and informational text about spacecraft written by Bryce. It discusses the history of rocketry from Robert Goddard's first rocket in 1926 to early NASA and Russian spacecraft. It also covers how spacecraft launch using rockets for lift-off but land using parachutes, and that rockets are needed to launch satellites into orbit as single engines are not powerful enough. The text also compares the speed of rockets to jets and mentions SpaceX deliveries to the International Space Station.
Porfirio satellite
Satellites orbit Earth and send messages, images, and data between different locations. They provide television, radio, and communication services by transmitting signals. Occasionally, manmade satellites like Galaxy 15 can become uncontrolled "zombie satellites" if contact is lost, continuing to transmit signals without guidance. Satellites revolve around planets and can be natural like the Moon or manmade objects designed to send information.
Kokwe research
This document discusses meteors, asteroids, and comets. It provides facts about the different kinds of meteors and what they are made of. It notes that asteroids can have moons and describes the largest asteroid, Ceres. Comets are described as dirty snowballs that originate from the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud and grow tails as they get closer to the sun. The document also includes a creative story about a meteor named Rose.
Joaquin black hole
Black holes are formed when massive stars collapse in on themselves. They have incredibly strong gravity that pulls nearby objects towards them. While black holes cannot be seen, their effects can be observed as they suck up stars and dust. The largest black holes in the universe can swallow anything in space and even transport objects to different galaxies.

Enzio moon
The document is about the moon. It discusses that the moon is made of rock and less gravity, and that Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission. It also provides some fun facts about the moon, such as it being called Luna and regulating ocean tides on Earth.
Tasso mars
Mars is a rocky planet that is cold, icy, and freezing. It has channels, gullies, valleys and rocks. Mars is similar to Earth in that they both have 24 hour days and are similar in size, but Mars has two moons while Earth has one. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and is approximately 128 million miles away. It has a layer of iron-rich dust that gives it its red appearance and was named after the Roman god of war.
William jupiter
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. It has many moons, including four large moons - Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Io has a volcanic surface that resembles a pizza. Jupiter experiences intense storms and erupting gases.
Sophie sun
The document contains various passages about the sun, including its composition as a giant ball of gas made up mostly of hydrogen and helium, how it formed over 5 billion years ago from a cloud of gas, and how its light and heat are essential to life on Earth by providing energy from 93 million miles away in just over 8 minutes. It also includes a story about characters Sam and Jojo having adventures involving the sun and being rescued from Pluto by a space shuttle.
Gabe iss
The International Space Station (ISS) is a large spacecraft in low Earth orbit that serves as a microgravity laboratory and provides long-term research facilities for scientists. Five space agencies work together on the ISS, which began construction in 1998 and has been continuously occupied since 2000. The ISS orbits Earth every 90 minutes and has accommodations for up to seven astronauts to conduct experiments in areas like biology, physics and astronomy. At over 357 feet long, the ISS is the largest structure ever built in space.
Kaya stars
Stars are giant balls of hot glowing gas that burn and shine in the night sky. A constellation is a pattern made from groups of stars that form imaginary shapes. Stars range in age from 1 billion to 10 billion years old and are formed from clouds of dust and gas. Over time, older stars shrink as they continue glowing.
Abacus slides
This document shows an abacus with beads in the hundreds, tens, and ones places adding up to 157. It also lists different colored beads that equal people's needs and shows addition problems bringing together the concepts of working together and supporting each other.
Sunlight Is A Renewable Resource
The sun is essential for life on Earth as it provides renewable energy in the form of electricity via solar panels, helps grow fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, and allows plants like flowers to bloom. Without the sun, it would be perpetually dark and difficult to see or use electricity, significantly impacting modern life and our ability to produce and access food.
Animals Are A Renewable Resource
Animals are renewable resources as they reproduce and their populations can regrow over time. However, if animal populations are hunted or killed unsustainably, they risk extinction. Different animal species are used by humans for food, clothing, and ivory, so over-exploitation must be avoided to ensure animal populations remain healthy and renewable into the future.
