In this 27 minute multimedia show the motions of the earth, moon and sun - both apparent and actual are demonstrated. Our Magic Sky planetarium show is ideal for 3 to 6 year olds. The Mana Whetu show will bring alive the skills of Polynesian navigators as they crossed the Pacific without instruments. Other shows are available, ask for details. Plan to have your camp when the Moon is not too bright.
Every teacher is asked to comment in writing.
We are confident that if you ask a teacher who has used our program they will reccomend it. Just knowing that the observatory is here and available has eased any concerns we may have had about teaching astronomy. The range of high quality resources and the support from the very friendly, knowledgable and helpful staff is invaluable. Any unit on astronomy needs to include a visit to the Stardome. You can also use Cornwall Park and One Tree Hill Domain for archeological, volcanic or other studies.
