The Scientific Explorer Space Theater Planetarium is a fun tool to introduce you to the wonders of the night sky. The set includes a projector base that houses your light source; 2 LED lightbulbs, which require 2 C batteries (not included). The Star Dome is held in place with an adapter ring and has hundreds of small holes that each project the image of a single star. The Sky Covers is a second dome to project stars that are only visible in the night sky on a particular date and time. The 5 other Constellation Covers fit over the other covers to isolate different important star groups or constellations to make learning and identifying easy. There’s a Constellation Cover for each season, plus one for the stars of the northern sky that never set. All constellation covers can be adjusted to the different location of stars at different dates and times. The Space Theater audio CD mixes amazing scientific facts with ancient stories about the stars and constellations and comes with directions on how to use the constellation covers. The Night Vision Saver helps you view the star maps in the Space Theater guide or change the covers in the dark while viewing your ceiling display. The kit includes a projector base, star dome, adapter ring, 5 constellation covers, sky cover, audio CD, night vision saver, 2 LED bulbs (which are stored in the battery compartment the first time you unpack the set) and a 32-page science manual. Recommended for children 8 years of age and older.
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.
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.

Orrery Motorized Solar System Simulator. Internally gear-driven motor revolves planets around the sun in their relative orbits. Users can manually adjust planets according to the planet position table with the 360 degrees scale on the base. Model is exceptionally quiet and includes a comprehensive lesson plan to facilitate explanation of orbit and speed. .Includes Teacher's 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.
