Description
This lesson reviews concepts presented in the FOSS unit of the same name. Some of the concepts are: Lunar phases and motions; Seasonal changes in the path of the sun; The effects of the Earth's rotation; An introduction of constellations and how we use them to observe the rotation of the earth.
LATE ARRIVALS: Please plan to be early to avoid being late due to inadequate maps, confusing road signs, road construction, heavy traffic, parking difficulties, or uncooperative children. If you are unavoidably late, please enter the planetarium quietly and close the door behind you as quickly as possible as the light from the lobby disrupts the visibility of the presentation.

Parking information:
Free parking on site. There is limited parking available in the west parking lot immediately outside the Planetarium doors. Ample parking is available in the east parking lot on the other side of the school. The school requests that Planetarium visitors not take the (admittedly warmer and dryer) shortcut through the school building, but instead use the sidewalks outside to walk the 1/2 block from the east parking lot to the Planetarium doors
