Our Beautiful Earth: A show designed to expand the mind, to make students THINK, it shows what an amazing planet we live on, hear Whalesong, watch a Volcano erupt close up, experience an Earthquake, and human destruction of the Rainforests. (this show is applicable to ALL ages)

AURIGA Astronomy is proud with it's commitment to Secondary Level Education. We believe we offer the best educational support for KS 3,4 GCSE & AS/A Level of any mobile planetarium in the UK, and our commitment to you and your students is second to none!

Altogether we produce over 40 (including variants) shows suitable for secondary level education (not all are curriculum based).

 

As we produce our own movies, and update them regularly (on average twice a year) we can promise you the best available material and the most up to date knowledge. Our contacts around the world ensure we get the best images as soon as they are released (often ahead of public release). Our presenters are skilled at 'pitching' the level of the show perfectly for the ability of the audience, (there is nothing worse than a presenter giving an A level lecture to 7 yr olds). We can vary our shows to accurately meet your requirements for specific class needs e.g. concentrate on Moon Phases or Orbits. Amazing, you are showing images that were in today's paper! how up to date can you be.                     Westborough High School All our shows include time for Q&A at the end, and where possible the images are accompanied by music (again created ourselves) to further increase the 'WOW' factor of the event. Our Schools CD rom of support material contains over 500 MB specifically written by us to provide images, activities and information for follow up class work, or (as the CD is designed as a web site) network activities on your schools computer suite. There are many images on this CD for which, we are the only license holders in the UK.
