In this live audience participation show, students identify what areas of Earth are best suited for aurora viewing. They model the different seasonal patterns of the Sun's apparent daily motion in various latitudes, including places where there is the phenomenon of "midnight Sun." They observe and sketch aurorae, learn about the causes of aurorae, and find out about NASA missions that are studying aurorae. Classroom activities include selecting ideal locales on Earth for aurora watching, determining the altitudes of simulated aurora, predicting aurora on other planets, spectrum studies, and aurora mythology. The show kit includes:
- script book (script, preparation, materials, and related classroom activities)
- slides (42--not glass mount; not masked)
- video (VHS, DVD, or alternate extra set of aurora slides as substitute video--can be set up as cross-fade system for video illusion)
