Storytime Science for Kids: The Moon

Join us for Storytime Science—a storybook read aloud followed by a simple related science activity geared toward very young children. This month, Exploratorium staffer and children's literature aficionado Vivian Altmann will read Moon! Earth's Best Friend, by Stacy McAnulty, illustrated by Stevie Lewis. Even Earth needs a best friend, and that bestie is the moon! Earth and the moon do what best friends do—they stick together day and night. Then you'll learn to make your own Earth and moon spinning top. You'll need a CD, a marble, a small round bead, a hot glue dispenser, and a hot glue stick. Illustrations by Stevie Lewis
