    Sky Calendar – Stellarium

    Stellarium is a computer program developed to model the sky. It is FREE shareware that is available in Windows, Macintosh, and Linus versions. Find where to download the Stellarium software by using the following link: http://www.stellarium.org/. You may need to contact your district network administrator to assist with the download and installation.

    In Activity 8 in the Sky Calendar unit, we use Stellarium to investigate how the time and location of sunrise and sunset change on the first day of each season. In addition, we look at the height of the sun at noon on the first day of each season. This information further emphasizes what students have already learned about the cause of seasons in earlier activities in this unit.

    The video provided can be used in one of two ways:

    - Teachers can view the video as a training session on how to use the Stellarium software.
    - Teachers can play the video for students as they complete Student Activity Book pages 13-16.
