Programmes can be partial constructed by the school in advance of visit to reflect current classroom subjects. Click here for information to construct a 'Science Dome' Programme
We also have a Demonstration service where we can visit your school for a few hours with the dome to show teachers, before any booking (Within 20 miles of Poole). Phone 01202 304734 .
Light and Sound Light is given off from an object or reflected by it. Light travels in straight lines. The sun is a source of light because it makes light (luminous), like a burning ball. Other things seem to shine so brightly like a mirror, but they reflect light. Examples from solar system with the moon and sun in 3D. Rainbow and colours. Refraction and reflection. Sound is a vibration in the air. Sound travels through the air in waves. How much energy or amplitude of sound. How sound is measured. Sources of sound.
Rocks, Soils and Fossils KS1/KS2/KS3 There are three different types of rocks on earth. Metamorphic, Sedimentary and Igneous. Examples of rocks to hold. Fossils are found in sedimentary rocks. Fossils provide evidence that different life existed in the past. Rocks and Soils are used for many purposes. Houses, roads and factories are built with materials from rocks. Glass is produced. Soils types to hold. Metal extraction. Panning for fools gold
The Dinosaur Show The show ends with possible ways of dinosaur extinction such as a large meteorite. We then look at the stars using the planetarium. We observe many shooting stars and the night's sky. An extensive Rocks and Fossils collection is available to examine and some sample can be purchase by the children, if desired. Makes a great day suitable for reception onwards and can include KS1/KS2 materials with rocks and soils.
Earth and Beyond The Earth, Moon and Sun are spherical bodies. Gravity, Day/Night, Seasons and Space. The exploration of the Moon. Moon phases. Light and Sound.
New Religious Studies Programme now available
We have two new modules which are designed to extend students thinking about SPACE and the world. 'Introduction to Stargazing' and ‘Story telling and the Stars’ The show 'Introduction to Stargazing' uses all the projectors below to give a star field and tour of the night's sky. The Science Dome has three star projectors which project a star field on the inner surface of the dome. The purpose is to demonstrate how the sky appears in the night sky and also how to observe various planets and shooting stars.
One star projector is produced using a computer with state of the art Stellarium software. This can also be downloaded and used on a PC desktop. Visit the link below. The other two projectors use actual film of the real night sky and project a star field accurately with 10,000 stars. The star field moves across the dome also showing shooting stars and the moon.
Natural History The mobile dome has local history presentations linked to the national campaign by National Trust and English Heritage. This covers local historic sites and the Dorset heritage coastline.
