Space Launch to Mars

Kids are the most innocent and honest of human beings you can find on this planet.  They are honest about their opinions of people and never try to hide away their feelings.   Working with the kids is a rewarding experience; it is fun yet educational at the same time. 

Recently a space craft named ‘Curiosity’ was launched by the US to Mars, to collect different minerals and particles from the surface of the planet, to compile more data about the life on the planet.  I was given the task to teach younger kids about the textures on the surface of Mars, along with the different features formed by the meteors.  It was beyond fun to see kids’ reactions; their faces would light up with excitement once they had learned something their parents knew very little about. 

It gets challenging sometimes to get the kids involved into educational activities; but once you have their attention, be ready to answer all the silly questions their minds come up with.  All in all, the experience is surely going to fill you up with excitement and it would feel amazingly rewarding. 

You know what the most exciting part of it all was?

Handing out these stickers (Picture) at the end of the activity and telling the kids how they have been great scientists.  The smiles that fill their faces are far better than any gratitude you can ever receive.
