Our main presentation for KS2 is designed to cover and expand upon The National Curriculum 'Earth and Space'. We will demonstrate how we have day and night on planet Earth and why we see the phases of the Moon ensuring that the children can understand the movement of the Earth and Moon relative to the Sun. This is especially effective in the darkened environment provided by the planetarium. We will also take a look at all of the planets and dwarf planets in the solar system discussing their size and shape, distance from the sun and distinguishing features. The stars and constellations are also covered and much much more. The presentation is suitable at any time during your period of study, either to introduce the subject, help during or to complete and summarise at the end.

A favourite topic, we take a look at why we have day and night here on planet Earth. Light sources and the different animals that come out at night are investigated along with the sounds you might hear at night time, before letting the children experience, in a caring and fun way, what it is like in complete darkness as we stargaze in the safe planetarium environment.

Suitable for Key Stage 2. It is possible that man will visit our nearest neighbour in our lifetime. But how will they do it? This amazing 90-minute experience introduces older children to the concepts of inter-planetary space travel. Experience the taste and smells of space, consider how you will safely land on Mars, and experiment with creating asteroids.

Have you ever wondered how the constellations got their names? Taking you back to the time of Ancient Greece we go on a journey of discovery to find out. Orion, Cassiopeia, Cephus and Andromeda will tell you their story! This presentation is suitable for all ages and explains the Greek perception of the Universe and the link between the ancient gods and the constellation names. This is a superb way to develop the topic of space for science, history and literacy and fully complements every Key Stage curriculum.

We will bring you up to date with the latest information about the planets of the Solar System. Pluto's status as a Dwarf Planet will be carefully explained and of course we will not forget the Moon and the Sun.

Suitable for Foundation & Key Stage 1. Blast off for the moon with a variety of themed activites; experiences the taste and smells of space, make a moon-print and don't forget to decide what you need to take with you? This 90-minute experience brings the Moon to life for younger children combining both science and creative activites across the curriculum.
