Planetarium Visits
An invitation
Glendale Community College invites you to bring your class or youth group to see
a full dome planetarium show in our Science Center. This unique opportunity
exposes your students to an interesting science program while giving them first
hand experience on a college campus.
The show is flexible and geared
specifically to those classes that are learning about the solar system and
space, primarily 3rd and 5th grade classes as well as middle and high school
students. The program will be geared to the age level of your students and can
include an emphasis on the planets, solar system, constellations or other topic
related to astronomy. For younger students, the college has purchased several
full dome videos courtesy of the Sexton Foundation that are specifically
designed to keep their interest. An overview of these programs is coming soon.
Planetarium shows are presented by
Glendale Community College instructors with outstanding education and knowledge
in astronomy and other physical and biological science disciplines.
The planetarium seats 48 individuals
and the shows typically last 50 minutes. If the group is larger than 48, we can
schedule two consecutive shows and plan an additional classroom activity for the
students.
There is no charge for these shows and
lessons as the funds have been contributed from a variety of private and
governmental sources including the U.S. Department of Education, NASA, Glendale
College Foundation, Sexton Foundation, Bank of
America, The Norris Foundation, PPG Industries & PPG Industries Foundation and
Sidney Stern Memorial Trust.
