SCHOOL
OUTREACH SCIENCE PROGRAMS:
STARLAB
Planetarium
Students will spend 40 minutes in our
inflatable planetarium, learning about the
stars and constellations, as the night sky
is projected above them. Lesson emphasis is
on the circumpolar constellations and those
currently visible in the night sky, the
myths behind the constellations, and how
students can find them from their own
backyard. The STARLAB requires a large space
for set up, such as an auditorium,
gymnasium, or empty classroom. One class of
approximately 25 students can be
accommodated in the STARLAB at a time. The
classes in your school or grade level can be
scheduled throughout the day or over a
series of days. Appropriate for Kindergarten
through eighth grade. The fee is $5 per
student. A minimum of 40 students is
required.
Earth
Walk
Students will spend 40 minutes with our
Earth Walk, a 16' X 20' high resolution
satellite image floor map of the continental
United States. True life colors of mountain
ranges, rivers, ocean coastlines,
watersheds, and the other geographic
features of our country, as well as
superimposed state boundaries are featured.
First, students see a Power Point slide
presentation showing Earth’s natural systems
and land and water forms; then they work in
cooperative groups to locate and label
examples of the geographic features on the
Earth Walk map. The Earth Walk requires a
large space for set up, such as an
auditorium, gymnasium, or empty classroom.
One class of approximately 25 students can
be accommodated at a time. The classes in
your school or grade level can be scheduled
throughout the day or over a series of days.
Appropriate for fourth through eighth
grades. The fee is $5 per student. A
minimum of 40 students is required.

At a time when our
nation is focused on the delicate balance
between the earth's ecosystems and the impact
that humans and technology have on those
systems, classroom teachers are in need of
current instruction which focuses on Earth and
its interactions with humankind. This workshop
will allow teachers to introduce earth systems
and remote sensing through the investigations
and resources provided. The workshop training
will include the use of Earth Walk™, a 16' X 20'
floor map of the continental United States which
features a high resolution satellite image with
true life earth colors. Learn about
