How does gravity change on different planets? How do astronauts keep their bones healthy? Learn all this and more in Astronaut Adventure.

Incredible Insects

From beetles to bumblebees, insects are everywhere. In fact, some scientists estimate that up to 8 out of every 10 species on the planet is an insect! Join Agents of Discovery for our new mission Incredible Insects, and learn all about the six-legged creatures that we share our world with. You’ll learn about insect vision, examine an insect fossil, and even build a model insect as you explore PacSci and scan QR codes to unlock challenges.
