Squirrels Space Explorer Activity Badge

Space Explorer badge

Fly a rocket into the stars like an astronaut and discover things about different planets and our moon.

How to earn your badge:

  1. We live on a planet called Earth. Work together to find out more about what planets are.

    You could explore what Earth looks like from space, play a planet game or share what you know with a friend.  

  2. Have you ever spotted the moon in the sky? Explore what the moon looks like and how it changes over time.

    You can find out how the moon changes during a month, explore pictures of the moon or create your moon crater artwork.  

  3. Lots of brave explorers (called astronauts) have travelled to space. Try some activities to discover what their journeys are like. What would you like to know about astronauts?

    You could build your own rocket, eat space food or dress up as an astronaut.
