"Every Sunday, my father explains the night sky to me." Every child learns this mnemonic for the names of the eight planets in our solar system. Now Kinder can really get to know the planets!
Who are our neighbours and what makes each planet so unique and special? WAS IST WAS delves into this mysterious world and travels to the end of our solar system. The successful author, Manfred Baur, takes a close look at each planet in the solar system. Readers are there when stars are born, discover huge volcanoes and strange moons. To gain all the knowledge we already have about our solar system, we need clever planetary researchers. Children learn first-hand how to become one and how cool planetary research is.
What is solar wind? What is the difference between a planet and a star? Have space probes ever flown through the asteroid belt? Could I fly through Saturn's rings in a spaceship? WAS IST WAS follows children's questions and answers them at eye level. Concrete tips for getting involved empower children. WAS IST WAS explains connections and strengthens children's opinions. Because knowledge makes you strong!
