Stellarium/About
[[|<<<]] [[|>>>]]
You can read the suggested Activity online Stellarium/activity as well as the full sets of lessons.
It is worth noting that these lesson plans are designed for a portable planetarium rather than the projection of Stallarium on a classroom wall (which is not quite the same) - it may seem a bit odd if you were not tuned into that fact.
The suggestions in order of preference are:
- What's Up -
- 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. The ORBIT revision is available here: Stellarium/activity - Sky Stories -
provides an alternative/extra activity but will need adapting by the teachers to draw out the actual stellarium content. - Moving Right Along -
again needs adapting and potentially removing some of the extra activities
