AstroTours for primary school students focus on our Solar System and what is contained within it. In general, your AstroTour guide will investigate the concepts of night and day and the seasons on Earth before heading out to explore the other planets of the Solar System. Students may take a flight to Mars aboard the Elysium 7 spaceship, or explore The Little Things of the Solar System through our 3D movies. Alternatively, teachers can choose to customise the AstroTour to suit the interests of their students. Each student will have access to a pair of special 3D glasses, adding a whole other dimension to their learning experience!
The Centre gratefully acknowledges the kind support of the State Government of Victoria in helping to establish AstroTour, DEET and the Science in Schools Strategy for their continuing support.
