Due to the government shutdown, we are temporarily closed starting Sunday, October 12th. No programs will take place while we're closed. Please check back for reopening updates.
Join us for a story about two spiders who stow away on a Space Shuttle to spin the first web in space. We will read Space Spinners by Suse MacDonald.
Find out more about the experience of space travel. We will learn about real experiments of sending spiders to space to see whether they can spin webs in microgravity. Then we'll draw our own spooky spider webs.
