This topic supports the understanding of stars and planetary systems, we could carry out a practical Earth and space science investigation or investigate aspects of astronomy.
We take you wherever you want to go in the Universe. Our lessons cover all space and astronomy aspects of the NZC.
Learn about Planet Earth, the Moon, Mars and what’s in the sky, and take a journey through the Universe in our portable planetarium. We feature live presentations and, on request, we have a selection of educational planetarium shows. We can tailor the programme to match where you are in the curriculum for any astronomy, astrobiology or planetary sciences enquiry. With our portable planetarium we can travel throughout the Universe, whether that’s around the Solar System or out to the edge of the Universe is up to you!
Our planetarium is brand new and large enough to comfortably fit one class at the time. We project in the night sky in 4K and our presenters, Hari and Sam, are highly skilled science communicators and can easily fly the planetarium view to anywhere in the Universe.
