What do the programmes cover?
Stardome's core curriculum area is astronomy, which is part of Planet Earth and Beyond in the NZ Science curriculum, and often includes concepts from the other sciences, such as geology, physics, biology and chemistry. Astronomy also integrates well with other learning areas including maths, technology, and social sciences. If you have a request for a program that uses astronomy as a context for other learning areas, please contact us so that we can liase with you. With some negotiation, it may be possible to put something together for you. In the past, as an example, we have devised a program about Ancient Egyptian astronomy to complement a social sciences course, and an activity introducing orbital mechanics for an extension physics group. |
