Preschool-1st Grade
The following programs are appropriate for preschoolers, kindergartners, and first graders:
Don't Duck, Look Up!! (Taped)
Join Dudley, a precocious little
duck, as he begins to learn about the sky along with a barnyard full of animal friends.
Experience a thunderstorm, a sunset, and the shifting
patterns of the nighttime stars. Don't Duck, Look Up!!, produced by the Davis Planetarium
in Baltimore, also covers constellations and why we
have day and night. This program is a wonderful introduction to both the day and night
sky. Please allow pproximately 45 minutes for your visit
to the planetarium, including time to visit the displays in the lobby. Get program
follow-up activities (pdf).
The Sky (Live)
The Sky is a live introduction to the things we see in the sky, such as the Sun, Moon,
planets, and stars. We will use the planetarium projector to demonstrate why we have
day and night, talk about the Moon and its changing phases,
and look at some of the easier-to-find constellations. Please allow approximately
45 minutes for your visit to the planetarium, including time to
visit the lobby displays. Get program follow-up activities (pdf).
