 This is a delightful story of everyone’s favorite monkey, Curious George.  The inquisitive monkey is now in a fun filled musical adventure in which he learns about Rome…meatballs…and the secret ingredient to cooking!

All You-Can-Eat Meatball Day came just once a year. George had been waiting all month for that day, a day almost bigger than his birthday! On Meatball Day, George helped his friend, Chef Pisghetti, cook some delicious meatballs and serve them to the hungry crowd. But this year, the crowd had vanished! Something was keeping people away… something pretty big. And that something was Phinneas T. Lightspeed and his speedy Meatballs-o-Matic machine. In despair, Chef Pisghetti vows to cook no more. Determined to help his friend, George goes on a mission to enter the Chef’s meatballs in the world-famous Golden Meatball Contest in Rome.

Mount Wilson Observatory was founded in 1904 by George Ellery Hale. Often considered one of America’s greatest astronomers, Hale made lasting contributions to astrophysics as well as the overall growth of science and scientific institutions. During our STEM programs, students will benefit from the legacy of this science pioneer, using tools he developed for astrophysics. Students will get to know and recognize the basics of our vast universe using the very instruments that Hale, Hubble, and Shapley have used.

 Our visit will include:

•             Introduction to the observatory grounds and meeting our astronomer for the day.
  •  Lesson on “Our Place in the Solar System” in the 150′ solar tower. students learn  about the scale of planets in comparison to the Sun. If weather permits, students will  observe the surface of the Sun and learn about       sunspots  amongst other solar activity.    (Observation   depends on weather.)
•             Lesson on science behind astronomy including the science of rainbows. If the sky is      clear we can see solar spectrum.
•             Lunch break.  Bring lunch and water!
  •  Lesson on “Our Place in the Galaxy” where students learn about the discovery of our  place in the galaxy and the discovery of the broader universe while inside our historic  60-inch telescope, where these discoveries were originally made.
