To introduce the Solar System, we head to the planetarium. There is a local planetarium at one of the community colleges that does free planetarium showings. The one we decide to see is "New Horizons". It is about the planets.
We learned so much from this experience and presentation......
Andrew learned...
The planets are pulled into orbit by the gravity of the sun
Why the earth has an atmosphere and what it is used for
How tides in the ocean work with the moon
Neptune has a moon that has an incredible gas that bends and sends of a light into space
Christopher learned...
Why Mars has polar ice caps
One of Saturn's moons has water on it
Why atmosphere's are important
Matthew learned....
colors of the planets
shapes of the planets
how to dance to the music in the presentation
how to try to sit still for 30 minutes
how to soak it all in...
I hope to visit this planetarium again for more shows on the Universe, telescopes and every thing else under the sun.
