General Info

All of our activities are scheduled for friday afternoons from 2-4 pm and are held at my home in LaPlata, MD (very near Rt 301 S). These activities are designed with the entire family in mind so everyone (kids, teens, and adults) can participate at their own level and speed. There is no assigned followup or preparatory work, but ideas can be suggested if you desire them.

Feel free to bring snacks for your family to have whenever they need. Any child or adult who needs to attend but does not wish to participate can enjoy the indoors or outdoors in a safe manner until such time as they are ready.

We ask that you pre-register for all SSoMMd activities so that we can have sufficient equipment and be prepared for all the attendees. SSoMMd membership entitles you to a reduced activity fee. There's plenty for everyone to learn and enjoy at our activities, if you want to!

Crazy Comets

Date/Time: December 11, 2009 from 2 to 4 pm

Comets are cool. Really! Frozen actually. We are going to build a comet and experiment with it. We will also experience elliptical orbits and comet tails. While we rap about comets, you can make a durable comet to take home. Oh, and of course we need to discover comets in the sky. History of science, women in science, phase changes, how astronomers determine chemical compositions, trajectories, and solar wind can all be discussed today.







Registration option
Number of Attendees Over Age 3
