Students at Carey Ridge Elementary School recently traveled into space using the Digitarium. Kids in all grades explored patterns in the skies, constellations, planets in the solar system, and life on the International Space Station.


Westfield Intermediate School sixth graders in the Bohn/Graveel/Speidel triad have been investigating the solar system. They’ve explored the Milky Way galaxy with a trip to the Digitarium, simulated eclipses, and wrapped up their unit by creating scale models of the solar system to investigate planet distances from the sun.
