The Orbit Earth Expo program is an awe-inspiring educational experience that takes students on a captivating journey through the cosmos. This program brings the wonders of space exploration into the school gymnasium, creating a unique and immersive learning environment.
At the heart of the Orbit Earth Expo is a set of meticulously crafted inflatable models – a 14-foot Earth, a proportional 3.5-foot moon, and a not-at-all-to-scale 5-foot sun. These models are set up within a darkened gym, with a spotlight representing the sun. This setup allows students to interact with and manipulate the models, gaining a hands-on understanding of complex astronomical concepts like moon phases, eclipses, seasons, and tides.
An Orbit Earth Expo visit lasts all school day so that each grade level can experience an age-appropriate, standards-aligned program. We work with you to build a schedule that maximizes student learning.
