Picture

​Your students will learn about the size of the universe while watching the full-dome mini-movie entitled Sizing Up Space. They will also enjoy a live​ planetarium presentation entitled The Sky Tonight.

To wrap things up, your students will witness a simulation of a special celestial event. Students in Grade 4 will witness a simulated eclipse inside the planetarium and will learn how light and shadows are responsible for eclipses, while students in Grade 5 will witness a a simulation of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) and learn how electricity and magnetism are responsible for these beautiful displays of light that are often seen in the northern sky.

​If time permits, your students will have an opportunity to hold a rather large, museum quality, iron meteorite in their hands.
