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.

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.
