Clark Planetarium offers classroom resources and lesson plans. We also offer professional development workshops for teachers. Workshops are typically scheduled through district science specialists for all teachers within their district. Workshops include resource kits, some of which teachers can take back to their schools, with others that can be borrowed from their district. E-mail clarkeducation@saltlakecounty.gov with questions.
In this workshop focused on Strand 4.4, educators will learn how to implement a kinesthetic activity to teach that the Earth rotates and orbits the Sun. Educators will also learn to demonstrate why our sun is the brightest star in the sky and how stars of different distances make up a constellation. A kit of resources to replicate the activities will be offered to each school following the workshop.
