Jefferson Jets Get a Hands-On Astronomy Lesson

StarLab

Jefferson Elementary School students have been taking part in a hands-on interactive and exciting experience to enrich their astronomy knowledge. Students throughout the week have been visiting the Jefferson gymnasium where Jefferson Teacher Natasha Norris has been taking students on a planetarium voyage as they experience the Classic StarLab Experiment system, a teaching aid towards astronomy. In brief, StarLab is composed of a dome made out of opaque vinyl and a protector that displays images on the inside of the dome. The projector produces a bright light that can be completely adjusted by the user. Jefferson students will continue to visit Jefferson’s gym on Friday, March 2 during the morning hours.
