6th grade: Starlab Night Skies

Last week 6th Grade students had a tour of the current night sky with a focus on the planets and constellations inside the Starlab.

The Starlab is an inflatable, vinyl structure that has a 10.5-foot high dome that the night sky is projected upon.  The identification of constellations are necessary to locate stars, the milky way and planets in the night sky. A laser-light is used to point out the planets, stars and constellations that are visible to the naked eye. 

This CASC presentation was sponsored by the Bigelow PTO thanks to the support of our community through donations and participation in events.
