Putting Geometry to Work
Posted by Eric WernerThe Unquowa Planetarium has been fully constructed! After many months of hard work, setbacks and triumphs, the eighth grade class has put together every last piece of cardboard needed to build the 90-piece dome. Standing at just over 6 feet tall with a diameter of 8 feet, the planetarium can accommodate 3 to 4 adults or 4 to 5 8th grade students plus a presenter. With a powerful projector bouncing an inverted image off a spherical mirror, the inside of the dome lights up with videos run off of chromebooks, phones, or personal computers. This is sure to be a math lesson these students will never forget!
