This program teaches sky motions, seasons, rise and set, simple Moon phases, and eclipses (if requested) of the Sun, Earth, and Moon.
Recently revised as part of a doctoral project on early childhood learning in astronomy, the program is now more interactive, and focused on state benchmarks. In the words of a second grade teacher, “It was a great show and right on for second grade!”
