Sky and Earth Science Bringing Astronomy and the Earth Sciences to your School or Library using the STARLAB Portable Planetarium |
||
Sky and Earth Science uses a large inflatable dome and highly versatile projector to provide a realistic nighttime experience at anytime, day or night. Up to 30 people, seated in the dome, are treated to a very accurate representation of the planets, stars and constellations, as well as the mythological figures as seen by various world cultures. Graphic depictions of the Earth's tectonic plates, worldwide ocean currents and global weather patterns are also possible with the STARLAB. My presentations are designed to provide entertaining and informative programs for people of all ages but can be customized to help students address standards and benchmarks in a variety of subject areas. For me the nighttime experience is also of the Earth therefore I frequently include sounds and sights of the natural world. The programs are participatory as the intimate STARLAB environment provides for easy interaction. As I have years of experience teaching at all levels, preschool through adult, I am able to tailor my presentations to your specific needs. Space requirements for setting up the STARLAB are a clean, indoor floor, approximately 20 feet by 24 feet with 11 and one half-foot overhead clearance. Although the dome is light proof it is not soundproof therefore a quiet location is necessary. Also a properly grounded three-prong 110-volt outlet should be close by. In the school setting the classroom teacher needs to accompany each class. The cost for a typical day of presentations is $395 with a possible additional fee for mileage. Teacher training workshops and evening outdoor observing sessions are also available. Sky and Earth Science is based in western Massachusetts, USA. I do programs throughout New England and adjacent New York. Please contact Ron Woodland at RonaldWoodland@aol.com for more information and scheduling.
