List of Activities we do with description

Technology of Star Trek

We offer not only a slide show presentation of Star Trek tech and the real use of it but also have visual real props for you to see. For the past 55 years, Star Trek has been influencing and prediction new gadgets and technologies.

Technology of Star Trek

Our table at a local con, comparing Star Trek's tech to real life tech

Upgraded Star Trek's tech board

Latest Star Trek's tech board is 6 foot

LEGO SETS

CLICK HERE MORE Lego Sets we have

NOT only do we have NASA lego sets but STAR TREK as well.

MERIT BADGES we offer

Several members of the USS Solstice are registered Scout Merit Badge Counselors

Comet Demo

Comet Demostration

We show how to build an icy model of a comet, complete with shooting jets. This activity provides an opportunity for students to make observations, discuss changing states of matter and demonstrate measuring skills

Notice how dark the comet is?

How to Use a Telescope

Night Sky Observing

How to Use a telescope

Got a new telescope and don't know how to use it? We'll teach you! A couple of our crew are experts at using telescopes. We can even set up for solar observations!

Dont know how to observe the Night Sky? NO Problem. Our Steller Cartographies will help you out.

Getting ready to observe the cosmos!

Learn how to set up the scope.

Here Tactical Officer Joyce is setting up the command pad so the scope can track celestial objects.

Solar Viewing and SUNSPOTS

We offer FREE Safe Solar Viewing (weather permitting). Learn about Sun Spots.

Observing the Moon

Ever see craters on the moon close up? Here is your chance. How about the Moons of Jupiter or the Rings of Saturn?

Distance from Earth to Moon

Distane from Earth to Luna

The Moon is around 240,000 miles (385,000 km) away from the Earth. But what how do you see how large that really is? If the Earth were a basketball, how large would the moon be, and how far away would it be? That is one of the many questions our crew can answer!

The relative sizes of the planets seem to be in scale, however the distances between them are not. The Moon (Luna) would be slightly larger than Pluto. Hint: If the Earth were a basketball, the diameter of the Sun would be more than three times the size of the Buhl Planetarium's dome!

Oreo Cookie Moon Phases

Coloring Book

In this edible astronomy activity, you will recreate the different phases of the moon with yummy cookie sandwiches

Oreo cookie

The USS Solstice has its own coloring book. It is a story of one of our adventure we had. It also contains activates with in.

Solar System Scale Activity

Stars and Galaxies

Solar System Scale Activity

Create a scale of the solar system using A 24” sentence strip, or a strip of paper 3” wide by 24” long.

In this activity, you will apply concepts of scale to grasp the
distances between stars and galaxies. You will use this understanding
to elaborate on the question, Do galaxies collide?

Scale models

Scale Models

During the construction phase, students
try to guess what members of the solar system their model represents.
Each group receives different amounts of Play-doh, with each group
assigned a color (red, blue, yellow, white).

Planet Tours

Try this creative activity to help your students explore the solar system
in an imaginative manner

ID a constellation

Identify various constellations in the night sky.

ID Stars

Equatorial Sundial

Create a sundial an equatorial sundial is easy to make and teaches fundamental
astronomical concepts. The face of the sundial represents the
plane of Earth’s equator, and the stick represents Earth’s spin axis

HOT Air activity

Students produce a table of observations from both the Cool Air and Hot Air
experiments, and answer questions using evidence from their experiment

Super Gelatin

Students investigate the
refraction properties of gelatin to calculate its index of refraction and discover that as the light travels through the gelatin, its speed and wavelength also change.

Crater Impact

The Science Center on September 15, (Friday) from 10a.m.-5p.m. Uniform is mandatory
