Kinesthetic Astronomy

Kinesthetic Astronomy This Kinesthetic Astronomy kit for grades 6 thru adult emphasizes astronomical concepts and phenomenon that people encounter in their everyday lives - concepts such as time, seasons and sky motions of the Sun, Moon and Stars. The students engage in choreographed body movement and positions that explain and reinforce their understanding of astronomy in a fun and effective way. The 20 minute introductory DVD video for teacher orientation, a detailed lesson plan to guide the teacher thru the activities, and more than 30 assessment worksheets, activities, and handouts make for an exciting classroom experiment.

Solar System Planet Plaque

Developed from the latest satellite information, this dramatic representation of our solar system has been approved for accuracy and detail by the Adler Planetarium. The large 18" x 45" format depicts planet size differential, planet color, and information about rings and moons. Vacuum formed in 3-D raised relief. Questions about Pluto NOT being a planet?

Celestial Star Globe, Transparent

Unique 12” diameter globe design gives visual reference to aid the astronomer’ conception of Earth in space. Shows constellations and many other cosmic phenomena in 3-D format. The Universal Celestial Globe is mounted in a full horizon and meridian base. Both the 12” star globe and 4” world globe may be rotated independently. The meridian may be tilted to adjust the globe for latitude while the horizon ring indicates the actual horizon in relation to the point of observation on Earth. The Sun may be set by adjusting the sun know located near the North Pole.

Nine different classroom activities using the Celestial Globe can easily be performed in a class period. Topics include: Using the Globe as a Sun Dial, your relationship to the Universe, Seasons, Latitude and Longitude, and Right Ascension and Declination.
