An economy model planetarium. Moon, Earth and Venus globes are rotated, revolved separately by hand. The twilight zone ring enables young students to better understand the nature of dawn and dusk. Underarm chain drive keeps the North Pole pointing to Polaris, the North Star. Durable, colorful plastic with brass and steel parts. Complete quality planetarium at a low price.
The Solar System as seen from earth. This model shows the five planets and moon as Ptolemy described them in his famous book, "The Almagest". It describes accurately all the naked eye phenomena of our Solar System. The fact that most of the motions described by this geocentric system are incorrect cannot detract from the fact that to the unaided human eye all these incorrectly described motions appear correct. The use of the Ptolemaic model together with the Copernican model improves student understanding of the motions of the heavenly bodies. 14" high x 20" long. With fully-illustrated instruction book.
A creative way for children to learn astronomy concepts. Players toss the 24" ball to each other and call out the answers to the problem found under their left thumb. Many variations of play! Includes a list of game suggestions with directions and answers! For grades 4-8.
Have you ever seen a close-up photograph of the Moon, with its fascinating cratered landscape? With this telescope, you can investigate the moon’s surface firsthand! You can also search the night sky for constellations and planets, or simply watch the birds at the birdfeeder in your backyard. Get a close-up view of squirrels, deer, and other wild animals or pretend to be a pirate sailing the seven seas! An entry-level telescope with 12x magnification power, durable body, and quality optics, My Discovery Telescope also has a soft shell ocular lens cover (eye-piece) for greater comfort. It’s the perfect companion for young researchers setting off to observe the world around them — on land and in the sky! Ages: 6+.
The Project Planetarium is ideal for individual study projects. Causes of 2 day and night, seasonal changes, phases of the moon, and planet locations are easily understood. The small planetarium model and solar system chart, 22"x17", may be set to show actual positions of the earth, the moon and planets at any given time. Each set includes planetarium, chart and study guide.

Features all 10 planetary orbits. The motions of the planets, their relative sizes and distances from one another are illustrated in this attractive model. This model enables the student to "see" and "feel" what the Solar System looks like. The student will be able to visualize the physical relationships between the planets and the sun, and realize a better understanding of the various motions of the planets. When used with Ptolemaic System, all the problems of the real and apparent motions become clear. Stainless steel arms. Instruction book, ?Worlds in Motion," is included.

This three dimensional model of the sun and planets teaches planet identification, sizes, distance and color. The planets may be set by month to show relative positions. A sturdy base supports the 6" diameter sun with the outer planet 18" from the sun. Illustrated Study Guide includes position table. Lesson Plan facilitates explanation of orbit and speed. 12" x 22" x 8".
Look in the box and see the lunar phases in three dimensions! Each hole shows a different lunar phase! Comes with 5 stickers, full moon, new moon, waning moon, crescent moon, and quarter moon. 7.5" x 7.5" x 3.1".
Gives star positions for any date. Shows constellations, stars to 5th magnitude, nebula, Milky Way and the ecliptic. Major stars luminous for outdoor use. Has instructions, planet positions and Zodiac dial on reverse.
Reversible Northern and Southern Skies. Printed in 2 colors. Compare night skies from the northern and southern hemispheres with royal blue star chart. Constructed of strong, plasticized material, this chart highlights constellations, stars, nebulae and the milky way. Chart can be rotated to reflect any date of observation. Dry erasable. Measures 44" length by 44" width. For grades 6-12. Ages 11-18.
