Ready Jet Go!

“How Come the Moon Has Craters?”- The kids take a trip to the Moon and learn that falling asteroids probably created all the craters on the Moon’s surface! “Backyard Moon Base”- Led by Sydney, the kids build a moon base in Jet’s backyard and use their imaginations to figure out what challenges they would need to overcome in order to live on the Moon.

“How Come the Moon Changes Shape?”- When Jet, Sydney, and Sean have a hard time trying to explain the phases of the Moon to Mindy, Jet’s parents, Celery and Carrot, offer to fly them out to space so they can see how the Moon changes shape depending on perspective. “Night of a Bazillion Stars”- Jet, Sydney, and Sean decide to have a sleepover in Jet’s backyard. They use Sean’s telescope to look at the night sky and learn why stars twinkle and planets don’t.

“A Kid’s Guide to Mars”- Celery and Carrot need to update their guidebook about Mars, and the kids join them on a trip to see how much things have changed on Mars in the last four billion years. “Jet 2”- Jet builds a robot version of himself, so that he can be in “two places at once!” But Jet learns what jealousy is when the other kids seem to be having more fun with Jet 2 than they are with him!

“Tour of the Solar System”- Jet attempts to play the “Solar System” game with Sean, Sydney, and Mindy, but the kids don’t quite understand which planets go where. Celery, Jet’s mom, takes them on a tour of the solar system and introduces each of the eight planets. “Jet Cooks Dinner”- Sydney, Mindy, Sunspot, and Sean help Jet cook a classic meal from Bortron 7 for his parents, Celery and Carrot. After some funny attempts, the kids find that using the Scientific Method works best to get the meal done in time.

“Just the Right Distance From the Sun”- Sean explains to the others that Earth is a “Goldilocks” planet because it’s not too hot and not too cold. When Celery takes the kids to space, they observe how the other planets don’t have the right attributes to support life, but Earth is “just right”! “Solar Power Rover”- Jet, Sean, and Sydney visit their Mars Robot Rover friend at the DSA, and discover that the rover seems tired. Through helping the solar powered robot regain its energy, they learn how energy can be captured, used from the Sun, and used anywhere – even on Mars.

“Round and Round”- The kids learn how all the planets both orbit around the Sun and rotate on their own axes at the same time. “The Plant From Bortron 7”- Jet attempts to grow a seed from his home planet, but the light from our Sun is stronger than the light from Bortron 7, and has a surprising effect on the plant!
