Sky Show "Journey to Space"

Have you ever thought of spending your holiday not boating in a scenic countryside or lying on a sunny beach, but instead floating around in a space station with equipment mounted everywhere, or roaming freely on the rocky Mars? The dream is made possible when the first Amercian tourist entered the International Space Station in 2001. Perhaps one day space stations or even our neighbouring planets will be among the most favourite tourist spots.

But going to space is not easy. Not only you have to prepare for all the possible dangers en route, but also you have to overcome a lot of problems both on the daily living and on your body because of the microgravity.

The new school sky show "Journey to Space" brings the students to a wonderful trip to the International Space Station and Mars. They will learn about how rockets are launched, what weightlessness actually is, and how the astronauts spend their days inside the spaceship cabin in a microgravity environment. Students will then tour around the Station and Mars, and understand how space technology has affected us as well as why human persist to explore the outer space.

The show is characterized by the many interactive elements incorporated. Using the buttons on the seats, the students can decide which destination to go first, or express their views on various issues related to space technology and exploration. They will also be able to participate in an interesting quiz game to test how much they have learnt from the show.

Sky Show "Sun, Moon and Stars"

Kids are curious about objects in the sky. They always ask incessantly: When can we see stars, the Moon and the Sun? Why is it that the Moon appears in different shape? What are constellations? How do we use the Big Dipper to find the Polaris? And they can never make clear of their orientations: If they are facing the east, should the south be then on the left? Or right? ...

Through two lovely cartoon figures Bob and Ada, this school show takes the students to various fantasy worlds to meet the friendly characters of the sky - Uncle Sun, Mr. Star and Miss Moon, and learn how to identify the directions using the Sun and the stars. Designed as the first interactive school sky show, students can participate in determining the flow of the show or answer questions using the interactive control system, and teachers will know how much the students have learnt in the show.

This show is developed for lower primary students and supplement the unit "Stars, Moon and Sun" of the Primary General Studies Syllabus.

Suitable : Primar 1
Place : Stanley Ho Space Theatre

Sky Show "The New Solar System"

Most students know that our Earth is a member of the Solar System. But how much do they know about the other members? Some could be as hot as fire while others are dreadfully cold. Some have a large family while some remain obstinately single. Their sizes vary a lot too. These relatives of our Earth come in different styles and each has its distinct charms. 

This school show will first let the students understand the wonderful starry sky, and then take them onto an odyssey into the Solar System. The Space Theatre is transformed into a tournament hall where the planets enter into a keen competition. Students will find that Jupiter ranks first both in terms of size and mass. It is so enormous that it can swallow all other planets. Mercury not only is scorching hot, its orbiting speed is amazingly high. The show is characterized by the funny looks of the planets and lively scripts through which students could obtain a vivid picture of these striking worlds in our Solar System. 

This show is developed for upper primary students and supplement the unit "Universe and Space" of the Primary General Studies Syllabus.

Suitable : Primary 6
