Get ready to reach for the stars! This live educator-led program will take your students on an adventure in our very own night sky to learn about how the Earth moves, what kind of objects we might be able to see in our night sky, and the difference between stars, planets, and moons. We will use a combination of programs including Stellarium, Worldwide Telescope, and images to help explain these amazing concepts.
