Extra Astronomy Parts
for 3 or more children
Astronomy - Extra Parts
Recommendations for 3 children
The Astronomy Adventure works well for two children working together. Here are our minimum recommendations for three children, so all will have a good experience. These recommendations assume that the children can share a little, but won't want to wait too long.
For 3 children working at the same time, add:
1 sheet of planet stickers
1 artificial gravity set
1 wooden ruler
Recommendations for using these kits with larger groups.
Once you have one of our kits, you may find it's so much fun you'll want to use some of the lessons with more children.
Can extra parts be purchased for this purpose? Yes!
