The magic of earth science takes center stage in this fun, interactive Discovery Theater original. Explore the origins of our planet, sing about the water cycle, and understand our vital role to protect the ecosystem. Science and folklore about the "big blue marble" we call home kick off Earth Month, and audiences become Earth Superheroes and take home some great ideas to start right away!

Supported by a generous grant from the Smithsonian Women's Committee.

New this year: This show has two versions, one targeting the science curriculum focuses of K to Grade 2, and the other for Grades 3 to 5, each reinforcing topics explored in the state standards for DMV schools.
