Day and Night On Our Planet - Virtual

Streaming Live from the Strasenburgh Planetarium.

See how shadows change as the Sun goes across the sky. View Earth from space to see how Earth's rotation causes day and night. Compare to some other worlds in our solar system. As time allows, discuss other space and astronomy topics of interest to your students.

Maximum capacity: One class

Virtual Format: Teachers should plan to provide us a Zoom or Google meet link. We visit your classroom as a virtual guest.

• Please note: some school internet systems require a change in settings to allow outside speakers. We recommend a five-minute test session a few days before your scheduled program to check the connection.
