How many planets do we really have? How big are the planets and stars? Demonstrations and activities will give everyone a new view of space. Mission To Mars - This workshop covers an introduction to rocketry and looks at exploring the red planet. This workshop is a multiple-activity session. The pupils make and launch their own rockets, work in teams to construct a lander to bring a payload safely down onto a planetary surface, and then see if they can survive on Mars!
