July 12 – 15: "Out of this World"
This week's theme guides students to look beyond our planet to gain a further appreciation of our natural resources to help us better understand and realize how valuable and fragile our home is. Our focus centers on the sun, moon, Mars, and our galaxy.

This week’s activities use the Olympic Games as a backdrop to explore world geography, circuits, Olympic events, as well as the biomechanics of Olympic athletes.
