Celestial Spheres Kit
Your students will be able to model the
apparent daily motions of the stars and
the Sun for a variety of latitudes or for any
day of the year. With the included data,
students will also be able to learn to use
the sky for navigation and explain the
cause of seasons on Earth. The kit can be
used either in the laboratory or at home. It
includes 20 clear plastic hemispheres, and
ten of the following items: star charts with
the 500 brightest stars in both the north
and south hemispheres, marking pen,
earth space globes, pins to represent the
Sun, styrofoam bases, wooden dowels,
plastic straws, instructions, and activities.
