Pre-School

Let's Look Up

Designed for children ages 3-6, this program will introduce your students to both the day and nighttime sky. Captain Orbit, a four foot wizard puppet, guides the children through this hands-on science experience.

Kindergarten

Meet The Planetarium

Treat your pre-school or Kindergarten students to a science lesson they will never forget.  Children interact with the planetarium's star machine which teaches them about the Sun, planets, stars and the moon.  Students will also get a glimpse of the special things astronauts can do inside the Space Shuttle.

Grade 1

Day and Night

First grade students are introduced to the concepts of day and night, and how rotation causes this effect on earth. The sun, the seasonal constellations, and the moon are introduced. The relationship between the motion of the earth and the sun is presented as a relative-position problem to the students. Careers in science are also explored.

Earth, Sun, Moon, and Stars

Discover the difference between a star and a planet.  Students learn how stars are different from each other and why our Sun appears to be so bright.  The basic five constellations are also introduced to the children during the course of the program.
