Star Lab Visits Morse School
Posted on 03/07/2025
Our first and fifth graders had a little field trip right here at school on Monday. Students were able to experience the Star Lab in the auditorium. The CPS Science Department developed this traveling planetarium which allows students to see a night sky full of stars. First grade students were able to identify constellations in the sky. In addition to constellations, fifth graders talked about axial tilt, seasons, what causes day and night, and why the sun appears higher in the sky during summer time. This was a wonderful connection to the fifth grade Astronomy Unit and the first grade CKLA Astronomy knowledge unit.
