Star lab was a special guest at the Upper Elementary today! We are thankful for the U of I extension office and 4H for giving us this awesome experience. Star Lab is a portable planetarium allowing students to view outer space phenomena from the comfort of our school! 6th grade students have been learning about moon phases and solar/lunar eclipses in science class. Students loved seeing the features of the moon up close and also spotting the umbra/penumbra from eclipses.
