In
this
activity,
polystyrene
spheres
and
strong
magnets
are
used
to
represent
the
Sun
and
Earth,
and
their
distinct
magnetic
fields.
Participants
construct
and
use
a
"field
detector"
to
predict
where
the
magnetic
fields
are,
and
"field
bits"
to
form
loops
and
trace
the
invisible
magnetic
fields
of
the
Sun
and
Earth.
The
activity
is
designed
to
be
used
in
an

This
kinesthetic
science
activity
reintroduces
participants
to
three
states
of
matter
(solid,
liquid,
gas),
and
introduces
them
to
a
fourth
state
of
matter,
plasma,
and
its
connection
to
the
Sun.
It
also
demonstrates
how
the
addition
of
energy
can
transform
matter
from
one
state
to
another.
The
activity
reviews
common
examples
of
matter
in
each
state,
like
liquid
water
and
water
ice,
oxygen
and
carbon

This
poster
outlines
the
major
mission
highlights
of
the
Interstellar
Boundary
Explorer
(IBEX)
mission,
a
Small
Explorer
Earth-orbiting
spacecraft
that
is
designed
to
map
the
distant
boundary
between
the
solar
wind
from
our
Sun
and
the
interstellar
medium.
The
poster
aims
to
answer
the
following
questions:
?
What
is
IBEX
and
what
is
it
exploring?
?
How
does
IBEX
explore
the
boundary
of
our
