Cloverbuds Shoot For The Stars!


We had yet another adventure with our Cloverbud 4-H'ers recently! We visited the Planetarium in Wadesboro and had a great time. Ms. Phillips was our guide as we visited the stars, planets, animals and exhibits that are housed at the facility. The planetarium is operated by the Wadesboro Rotary and Anson County Public Schools.

We got to learn about constellations that we can see in the night sky and the story behind them. We also got to learn about the planets and their moons (did you know that some planets have more than one!)

After learning about the stars, we had the chance to make our very own constellations with glue and glitter. Ms. Phillips also let us meet several of the animals who live at the Planetarium, including a hamster & a gecko.

On the way home, we even stopped at a local farm stand for homemade ice cream! We had a great time & are looking forward to visiting again! Check here for more pictures!

I completely forgot until I looked through the pictures again, but we also got to play in the Planetarium's Tree of Life exhibit which houses all different kinds of displays about trees and everything they do for us. The last thing we did was search for real shark teeth (and learn more about brushing our own:)
