Today we went to the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
We made telescopes in the learning area with our leader Geraldine. We liked putting the lenses into the telescopes because it was the final piece of the telescope and was ready to use. We are taking them home with us tonight to look at the stars. We hope to see lots of interesting things.
We also got to see how a thermal imaging camera would take photos of stars and we could see that stars are very hot.
We got to see memory metal which is metal that always remembers it’s original shape. It is used for satellites and telescopes.
This sounds like a really good trip and a great way to end your learning about space.
