Primera sesión
Constellation stories
During this first session, we will listen to stories and watch some videos about the most recognizable constellations in the sky. Then, we will each talk about one constellation.
Segunda sesión
Travelling to the inner solar system
By using interactive tools, we will visit the inner solar system, to later establish a scale to represent the distance between the terrestrial planets. There will be a moment to present findings about the planets.
Tercera sesión
Travelling to the outer solar system
We will trace the path of some missions that have travelled towards the gas planets, to talk about their characteristics and other objects observed.
Cuarta sesión
Visiting other stars and galaxies
This will be a unique opportunity to learn how stars are born, how they live and how they evolve until they die. Through videos and interactive tools we will become familiar with the most visible stars from Earth. ¿How did science adopt the notion of galaxies? ¿When did that happen? We will conduct a short debate about the different scaled that we´ve talked about during the sessions, to then enjoy telescopic images of galaxies.
