This time on The Children’s Hour we get out of this world with the lead astronaut of the Artemis 2 Mission to the Moon, Commander Reid Wisemann. We learn what it’s like to be an astronaut, and what they hope to learn by visiting the moon. Dr. Phil Plait, “The Bad Astronomer” explains how the moon was formed, and we talk with lunar geologist Dr. Chip Sharer from the UNM Institute of Meteoritics about what the rocks from the moon tell us about Earth. Comes with a Learning Guide.

Kid Pan Alley is an organization that empowers kids around the United States to write their own songs. We’re joined this time on The Children’s Hour by Paul and Cheryl Reisler who have written more than 2,500 songs with more than 70,000 children over the last 30 years. Paul and Cheryl Reisler spend the hour with our Kids Crew sharing songs, and giving us a mini demonstration of how they work inside schools. We learn about rhythm and exploration of our ideas through song.
