What are expeditions?

Scientific expeditions are like big adventures where scientists travel to special places to learn new things. Imagine you and your friends going on a treasure hunt, but instead of looking for gold, the scientists are looking for information about nature, animals, plants, or even space! They bring special tools to help them explore and discover exciting facts about our world and beyond. Here are some famous examples:

Charles Darwin sailed on a ship called the HMS Beagle and found out how animals and plants change over time to survive better in their homes.
The Challenger Expedition in the 1870s was a big journey where a ship called HMS Challenger sailed over 68,000 miles across oceans. They discovered lots of new sea creatures and started learning more about the oceans.
In 1969, astronauts on Apollo 11 went on the very first trip to the moon. They used lots of cool technology to get there and found out a lot about what the moon is made of.

Don’t forget to pace yourself. One adventure would be amazing but do it in the time you need.
