- Feature : Educational Insights Geosafari Motorized Solar System / Product Features: Observe the vastness of space in a dramatic light show Base features planetary longitude marks so the planets can be set up to their correct positions A/C adapter not included Includes a Stardome that converts the unit to a planetarium The central tower and the planetary support rods are black so that they "disappear" in a darkened room for a spectacular effect The unique stardome converts the unit into a planetarium / Product Details: GeoSafari Motorized Solar System Introduce the Solar System Model to children View larger GeoSafari Motorized Solar System Children will be able to see the sun's light illuminating the planets. View larger GeoSafari Motorized Solar System The Motorized Solar System and Planetarium takes the abstract concept of the solar system and brings it to life with light and motion. The activities make for a powerful, hands-on learning experience. To teach children about stars and constellations, use the star dome to transform any classroom into a planetarium. / Includes: Central towerEight planet orbs plus one dwarf planet orb with identifying planetary symbols*Nine metal rods, one for each of the eight planets plus one for PlutoSun sphere (with symbol)Northern Hemisphere star domeKrypton bulb Observing the Solar System in Action Seeing the model in action-revolving, with the light on-is a good starting point for children to learn about the solar system. If looking over the model from the sun's north pole, the planets orbit in a counter-clockwise direction. Dimming lights in the room where you use this model will make the demonstration more dramatic. In a darkened room, children will be able to see the sun's light illuminating the planets. In addition, the black support rods and tower will be less visible. / Scientific concepts that are introduced include: The sun is at the center of the solar system.Earth is one of eight planets in our solar system.The planets travel around the sun constantly.The planets move in generally circular patterns called orbits.The sun gives off energy. The planets absorb and reflect this energy.All the planets move in the same direction and on the same plane as they orbit the sun.Each planet orbits the sun within a flat "slice of space." Each travels in a basically circular path, without going up and down.The planets, as a group, also travel within a fairly flat "slice of space."We see the universe from a particular location on Earth. Our view of the planets and stars is affected by our location
