Bring the night sky to your students! The Science Resource Center has two portable planetariums available for loan. Don’t miss out on this awesome resource sure to wow your students and enhance your earth and space sciences instruction!
To borrow a portable planetarium, you must attend a training workshop at the Museum. The workshop is three hours in length and will be facilitated by one of our astronomers. After being instructed on how to properly set up the planetarium, you will spend the majority of the time inside it, learning how to use it effectively with your students. See a variety of cylinders in use and learn essential vocabulary as you tour the night sky. Curriculum materials and a visit to the Museum’s Shafran Planetarium are included in the workshop cost.
The portable planetarium is a cross-curricular teaching tool for astronomy, earth science and more that you can bring right into your classroom. It includes everything you need to present interactive, exciting lessons: an inflatable dome, projector, fan and accessories. Inside the dome, a projector displays a variety of images on a 180 degree-by-360 degree hemisphere. The SRC offers the following projection cylinders: Starfield With Milky Way, Biological Cell (mitosis and meiosis), Constellations, African Mythology, Native American Mythology, Greek Mythology and World Geography. The dome can fit 25 to 35 people. It is accessible to those in wheelchairs and anyone not comfortable crawling through the entry tunnel.
No option for graduate credit. |
