Planetarium Show: The Weather
Our Planetarium Theater misses being filled with school children and families! While it remains idle, the Discovery Center staff still wanted to bring these magical shows to you! Although you won’t being seeing them on a Full-dome, digital Sky-Skan Definiti theater, we still hope these shows will spark your imagination and get you excited about STEM, space, and aviation.
We will be posting a new planetarium show weekly. So make sure to continue to check our website for updates. This week, observe the weather using your senses and other weather measuring tools in The Weather. Unlike the planetarium theater, grab some popcorn and a drink, sit back, and enjoy the show!
The Weather is an interactive modular planetarium program covering the national science standards for weather – grades K-2.
Module One: Using the Senses to Observe Weather and Identifying Cloud Types – Module one will help connect children to the weather around them by encouraging them to use their senses to observe weather. It will also introduce children to the basic cloud types and how they are associated with specific weather conditions. The idea of weather forecasting will be presented in this module as well.
Module Two: Describing and Measuring the Weather – This module will introduce children to the basic weather terms that are used to describe weather conditions. It will also help children identify the appropriate instruments that are used for studying and measuring weather.
Module Three: Identifying the Basic Features of the Water Cycle – The final module will present the major steps of the water cycle. To help with this concept, children will follow a drop of water through the entire water cycle. Recommended Audience: General Audience/ Ages 4-8
