Explore the Wonders of Space

Beyond the Beanstalk's Solar System Shenanigans Workshop is designed to spark curiosity about the cosmos through interactive learning. Perfect for preschool, OSHC, and primary school-aged children, this workshop aligns with the EYLF, MTOP, and Australian Curriculum, ensuring an enriching educational experience.


A Galactic Journey

In Solar System Shenanigans, children will embark on an exciting journey through space, discovering the wonders of our Solar System through hands-on activities and immersive storytelling. From the ever-changing phases of the Moon to the unique characteristics of each planet, this workshop brings the cosmos to life in a fun and engaging way.

Our workshop includes:

  • Moon Phase Exploration – Children will investigate why the Moon changes shape throughout the month, exploring concepts like waxing, waning, and eclipses through interactive demonstrations. They will create their own Moon phase model to visualise these changes in action.

  • Planetary Adventure – From the scorching surface of Mercury to the icy rings of Saturn, children will learn about the planets' sizes, orbits, and atmospheres. Engaging activities and discussions will help them compare planetary features and understand what makes Earth unique.

  • Space Objects Discovery – Beyond the planets, our Solar System is home to fascinating objects like asteroids, comets, and meteors. Children will uncover how these celestial bodies move through space, what they are made of, and the impact they have on our universe.

  • Take-Home Solar System Project – Each child will create a personalised take-home project designed to reinforce their learning and support further exploration beyond the workshop.
