Homeschool Program in the USAFA Planetarium; Wed, Sep 2 @ 10:45 a.m.at Planetarium

Homeschool Program Program Overview, show previews, and a Live Night Sky Tour Tuesday, September 2 10:45am – Noon Join us for the initial overview program of our USAFA Planetarium’s Homeschool Program. In this initial show, Mr. Jeff, our Planetarium Director, will give an overview of the year’s Homeschool Programming plans, preview shows that will be parts of this year’s programming, and we will also enjoy a Live Night Sky Tour so our space-loving students and families can jump right in with learning astronomy and space by engaging in stargazing and our night sky! NGSS STANDARDS: For each homeschool program, we will include a few NGSS standards which relate to that program to assist in covering your science standards for the academic year. e.g. for the Live Night Sky Tour in his show: 5-ESS1-1. Space Systems: Stars and the Solar System: Support an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from the Earth IMPORTANT NOTE: With our limited seating, if you RSVP and your plans change for any reason, please email Jeff our Planetarium Director at planetarium@afacademy.af.edu so we can release your seats to another family who can attend. BASE PASS: Visitors to the Academy MUST have a valid DoW ID card OR they need to request a base pass at least 24 hours in advance with the dated links at the top of the planetarium webpage.
