Spark: The Universe in Us (Gr. 6 - adult) 

Where did the building blocks of life come from? The answer lies in the hearts of distant stars and incredibly powerful explosions such as supernovae, which help spread fundamental elements to galaxies far and wide where they can spark new life.

Starsigns (Gr. 8 - adult)

The astrological signs take their names from the star patterns people found long ago in a sky they considered sacred and influential in the affairs of Earth. Although we see things differently today, we can still go outside and find these patterns in a sky filled with signs and stories of our own making. And those stars can still guide us, not from the pages of a newspaper, but in real ways that can link us with the past and lead us to the stars themselves.
