Out of this world!

Kindergarten students in Sunnyvale, Ca are introduced to astrobiology through the book, "Life is All Around Us" written by Madeline Kotowicz and Susan Ewing and illustrated by Alexandra Black. The book is designed to help children aged 3 through 8 understand the most basic concept of astrobiology: What it means to be alive. The book was created by Montana State University's Astrobiology Biogeocatalysis Research Center part of the NASA Astrobiology Institute, and in partnership with Hopa Mountain's early literacy program.

The interactive and California Common Core Standard based lesson included a discussion of how life is defined, and the students generated a list of qualities all things must possess in order to be alive. The engaging lesson concluded with the students sharing their drawings of something that is living, proving that you are never too young to begin learning about astrobiology.
