Science Visualization
Visualizations were supplemented throughout with embedded structured text (reinforcing science vocabulary), static imagery (parallel to what is seen in class), and video supplements in an immersive educational environment. This unique instructional strategy was implemented to improve the acquisition of key scientific concepts and the essential language required by all students.
Eric Bookstrom shares about implementing planetarium supported science instruction: planning, collaborating and connections to classroom teaching.
Kids talk about how the planetarium experience was different for them from regular classroom learning.
