Project STARWALK is an Earth/space science program, developed for elementary students in grades 3 and 5 or 4 and 6. The program is designed around the teaching of some basic earth science concepts (Earth’s rotation, revolution, and axial tilt), and their consequences. Classroom lessons are designed to both prepare and follow-up student visits to a planetarium facility. The planetarium is used as an instrument to display models to help the students understand the concepts. There are three visits to the planetarium (fall, winter, and spring).The role of the teacher is to prepare the students for a laboratory experience at the planetarium. This is done by way of the materials provided, and whatever other strategies the teacher deems necessary. There are a variety of activities designed for both pre- and post-reinforcement of the concepts.
