A story about Space
for your 3rd Grader.
Ava was a smart third-grader who loved drawing more than anything else. Her favorite subject in school is arts and crafts. She could spend hours in the art room, creating colorful masterpieces of the cosmos.
One day, Ava found a mysterious bottle of water in the art room. It was shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow. Curious, she took a sip.
Suddenly, Ava felt a strange sensation. The art room around her started to blur, and before she knew it, she was standing on the surface of Venus!
Ava was amazed but also a little scared. Venus was hot, much hotter than she had imagined. She could see clouds of sulfuric acid in the sky and felt the intense heat from the surface.
'Wow, this is what a greenhouse effect feels like,' Ava thought. She remembered learning about it in school. It was a process where certain gases trap heat in a planet's atmosphere, causing it to get very hot.
Despite the harsh conditions, Ava was determined to explore Venus. She used her art supplies to create a protective suit and a mask to shield herself from the toxic atmosphere.
Ava explored Venus, taking in the strange and beautiful sights. She saw towering volcanoes and vast plains. She even drew some of the landscapes she saw.
After a while, Ava started to miss her friends and her art room. She decided it was time to go home. But how?
