Never underestimate Preppies. I love talking Astronomy at our Primary School. The younger the better I reckon!
Facts and figures go over their head so I amuse them with 'funny' figures like "Galaxies that are a Gazillion Kilometeres away". They laugh but also understand that 'A Gazillion' is a lot!
I show them trees waaayyy off in the distance through the scope and even that freaks them out.
Lots of pics, with very brief simple descriptions.
They do understand more than you think, as long as it isn't long winded or technical.
Most of all, if you have fun doing it, they have fun too. Don't be dead-pan serious.
