Planetarium starts wmter schedule By Angela Altass The UPEI Planetarium starts it winter schedule in October, offering fascinating and educational astronomy programs to groups of 15 or more. Teachers and community groups are being encouraged to make an Nani—"rient for a planetary view of the Plane- tarium. “Astronomy is one of the. most rapidly developing fields of science these days as well as being one of the oldes,” said Professor Earl Wonnacott, Planetarium director. “The main purpose of the planetarium is to use its unique facilities and well docume;..:- snows to keep the audience informed of developments in astronomy. David Brennan, Planetarium business manager and a 3rd year Business Administration student at UPEI, noted 75 per cent of the winter ap- pointments come from schools. Besides providing entertainment, the plane- tarium’s main star projector can be used as a “marvelous” teaching aid to demonstrate such things as the basic motions of the sky and the causes of seasons. Professor Wonnacott and James Murtagh, in collabora- tion with the Department _of Education, have developed a specific program for grade six classes this year, based on the science textbook Science — Understanding Your En- vironment. This show includes 'parti-‘y cularly fine explanations of the effects of the sun on the earth, the basic motions of the earth and how they relate to the seasons and the chan- ging length of the day through- out the year. “Most of the shows come in package deals,” said Mr. Brennan, adding the Plane- tarium develops its own special effects, such as lightening . » Professor Wonnacott added * he plans on developing further shows based on school curri- culum in the future. TEACHING AID “The Planetarium is a marvelous teaching aid, as well as an entertainment facility” said the professor; “With the university being a center of learning, I cannot think of a better setting to study one of the oldest sciences. ’ ’ Islanders are somewhat inhibited by the planetarium, said Professor Wonnacott. He is urging any island groups to visit the planetarium. “Come and sec what it is all about,” he says. Some groups will be receiving let- ters from the planetarium eit— plaining the schedule, but any group who do not receive this letter are encouraged to call the planetarium and make an appointment. The groups can even re- quest 3 specific time to view a show. . The Planetarium is getting to be known outside this province, with groups coming from Quebec and Nova Scotia for shows.‘ \“Our Sky Family” is one of the most popular shows at the Plane- tarium, ideal for pre—schoolers and students up to grade five. The show is built around the theme " a newspaper reporter named Mort, who comes to the Planetarium to do a story on the planets. Mort is joined by the star projector Jake and the children in attendance. They all go for an interview with various members of the planet family. “The Sky Tonight” teaches children basic astronomy by continued on page 10
