* Full sets of lessons here: http://digitaliseducation.com/curricula.html
|title=Stars in the sky: what's up?
* It is worth noting that these lesson plans are designed for a portable planetarium and whilst the projection of Stellarium on a classroom wall is not quite the same, in terms of what can be shown is the same but they are written on the basis that there is an planetarium (running stellarium) and so may seem a bit odd if you were not tuned into that fact.
|topic=Astronomy
* Suggestions in order of preference
|subject=Science
## What's Up - [[file:whatsup.pdf]] - Use activity II from this sheet - Tonight's Sky but will need to stress the southern hemisphere navigation needed (the teaching pack contains refrence to the north star). Section D suggests using a mirror and flashlight but this is not nescessary. James's revised version of What's Up (a very quick revision/edit) [[file:What's Up.doc]] and RTF (same as above) [[file:What's Up.rtf]]
|tagline=Use a software planetarium and encourage students to think about astronomy
## Sky Stories - [[file:skystories.pdf]] provides an alternative/extra activity but will need adapting by the teachers to draw out the actual stellarium content.

## Moving Right Along - [[file:moving_right_along.pdf]] again needs adapting and potentially removing some of the extra activities
|resourcenumber= SC0011
|Learning Objectives=  
* Learning that we can see stars in the night sky but also the moon and some planets.
* Discovering how stars, planets, and the moon differ from each other.
* Differentiating between reflecting and emitting light.
* Learning the definition of a constellation and the shapes and stories of some currently visible constellations.
|age=Primary
|content=Lesson plan and suggested activity.
|format=
|strategy=
|additional resources=You will need a planetarium application, such as Stellarium http://www.stellarium.org. <br>You may want to encourage students to explore some astronomy apps such as [http://www.google.com/mobile/skymap/ Google Sky] (for Android), [http://www.skymaponline.net/wp7.aspx SkyMap] (for Windows Phone), [http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/astro-app/id370695658?mt=8 Astro App] (for iphone/ipad). There are almost certainly others available (and this selection only offers free apps).
