EDUCATION GUIDE


PLANETARIUM

50 minutes

Extend your educational experience into the stars! Your students will be immersed in the sciences of the universe. Led by our scientists, this high-tech, multimedia experience is designed to complement the space curriculum while sparking an interest in the world beyond our planet. Using high-quality imagery and audio, the Planetarium brings to life your students' journey through space.

SEASONS
  • Travel to space to observe how the movement the Earth around the Sun creates daily and seasonal changes. Includes the film Earth, Moon & Sun, which explores the relationships between our planet and our most familiar celestial neighbours with the help of Coyote, an amusing character who has a few misconceptions!

UNDER THE SAME STARS – MINWAADIZIWIN
  • The First People were scientists and innovators, carefully tracking and moving with the seasons and creating inventions that allowed them to survive in the northern forests of our country. With this close connection to the natural world, the Indigenous People of Canada developed a strong culture, rooted in respect for the environment. This special presentation helps students learn about the Indigenous worldview and sit at the fire with two people who are connected to the traditional ways.

EXPLORE SPACE
