JUPITER

This week in Science we started learning about Jupiter and it's four closest moons: Lo, Europa, Callisto and Ganymede. Lo is the closest moon and is very colorful due to the many volcanoes and sulfur. In fact, Lo's volcanoes are the very hottest of anything in our Solar System next to the Sun. What is interesting is that the next three closest moons are rocky moons covered in ice. Ganymede is the largest moon in our Solar System. There are more than 63 moons orbiting Jupiter.

So here is a craft the kids did. This is Jupiter with its closest moon Lo.

Part of the lesson was how we get these pictures from satellites. So the kids made a rocket!
