Telescope Evening Investigate the cosmos with a night under the stars Enquire Now Your students become astronomers with this evening telescope workshop. Students will discover; How to find the south celestial pole Constellations of the zodiac and how to identify them The Milky Way and Magellanic clouds Planetary orbits and ring features Surface features of the moon Learn about the dynamic nature of astronomy Working in pairs or threes, students use one of 7 telescopes to observe the night sky as well as have the opportunity to use a motor driven telescope with GPS capabilities.

VC2S8U12 investigable questions, reasoned predictions and hypotheses can be developed in guiding investigations to identify patterns, test relationships and analyse and evaluate scientific models. VC2S8I01 space exploration seeks to expand knowledge of the origins and structure of the universe and to resolve the challenges of humans travelling and living away from Earth’s surface. VC2S10U12 the universe contains features including galaxies, stars, solar systems and black holes; the big bang theory models the origin and evolution of the universe and is supported by evidence. VC2S10U13 investigable questions, reasoned predictions and hypotheses can be used in guiding investigations to test and develop explanatory models and relationships. VC2S10I01 Requirements Appropriate for Years 7 and 10 with a maximum of 21 students per class. Access to 1 electrical power socket would be handy. Duration is variable and organised with our office. Set up time 45 minutes and pack up time 45 minutes. Parents should be encouraged to help supervise where possible. This experience is best run in winter and is usually offered as part of an overnight science visit. Before booking, check this Moonrise calculator to see the time at which the moon will be above the horizon (this is essential as much of the workshop focuses on the Moon). During Social Distancing – Contact us and we’ll tailor a program to suit both your school and the State’s social distancing requirements.
