If we were to tour the other planets in our Solar System, we would better understand what it is about the Earth that allows life to flourish on it. Student volunteers play roles that (1) show how Earthlings get the things they need to live and (2) illustrate the flow of elements through natural cycles such as the water cycle and the carbon cycle. As an example of what role humans play in the cycles on Earth, a bubbling experiment points to a possible cause for change in our planet's climate. The explosive finale is an example of a cleaner energy source that may help us preserve our unique environment. Sessions are adapted to audience's grade level(s). For an additional $85, 25-minute sessions for grades K-1 may be added to programs at you school.
