Star Stories
Follow the Drinking Gourd
The third graders from Boonsboro came to the planetarium today to participate in the program Star Stories. Students learned about ancient Greek pictures made of stars in the sky called constellations and used props to act out the stories. We then found some of the characters from the stories up in the sky. Here are a few pictures from their visit!
The third graders from Boonsboro also came in February to
participate in the program Follow the Drinking Gourd.
We learned what the Drinking Gourd was, where you can find it and how it was
used to help guide slaves to freedom. Then we learned the Drinking Gourd
song and how its words also helped to guide the slaves to freedom.
Finally, we used star maps to help us find constellations in the sky and to see
how the sky changed throughout the journey to Canada. Here are a few
pictures from their visit!
Astronomers Of The Day
At the end of the visit each teacher chose their Astronomer of the Day. These students exhibited the participation, listening and questioning skills needed to make a great astronomer! Congratulations to our Astronomers of the Day!
