Primary Presentations - Prep to Year 6

YEAR PREP - LEVEL 1
Suggested outcomes: describe students' scientific explorations of the chemical, physical, and natural world. Our closest Star gives us light and warmth.
The Sun dries up puddles, makes clouds and rain
Plants give us food, but can't grow without the Sun.
Why don't we see the other stars in the daytime?
Light and darkness. Games with shadows.
What's in the day sky. What's in the night sky.
Dot to dot pictures with the stars (constellations).
For every star picture there's an ancient story.

YEARS 1 and 2 - LEVEL 2
Suggested outcomes: identify simple patterns in observations arising from explorations of readily observable phenomena. Planet Earth - our ball-shaped space ship.
The Sun is a star. What are stars made of?
Our space Ship is spinning. Night and day.
Space Mirrors. Why we see the Moon and planets.
Why do we see the different shapes of the Moon?
Constellations and planets in tonight's sky.
Star myths and stories from various cultures.

YEARS 3 and 4 - LEVEL 3
Suggested outcomes:
3.1 Describe how features of the landscape are altered by weathering and erosion.
3.2 Relate the Earth's rotation to day and night. Night and day around the World. One spin = one day.
Measuring time (day, year, month).
The apparent movement of Sun and stars.
The length of daylight in different places.
The varying height of the noon Sun.
Poles, equator, and axis of the Earth.
Constellations and planets in tonight's sky.
The star calendar. Seasonal stars.

YEARS 5 and 6 - LEVEL 4
Suggested outcomes:
4.1 Relate the occurrence of natural events to atmospheric changes and movements of the Earth's crust and mantle.
4.2 Compare characteristics of members of our Solar System. The Solar System. When, how, and what's in it.
Discovery of other stars with planetary systems.
Characteristics and names of the planets.
Why is there no erosion on Mercury and the Moon?
Sizes and distances in space. AUs and light years.
Summer and winter, monsoons and The Wet.
Using the Sun and Southern Cross as a compass.
Scientific discovery by probes and satellites.
Which stars and planets are in the sky tonight.

With every school visit, teachers are given a complimentary folio of curriculum related work sheets, and a star chart for the evening of that visit.
The presentations above are made up by Star, Earth, and Greek Mythology Starlab projections, backed by photo slides, and special effects videos.
Nothing is pre-recorded. With one class as audience per session, teachers can make special requests for content, and there is ample opportunity for questions and student interaction.
