Help me give my students a sun, earth, and moon planetarium to help them understand moon phases, seasons, and eclipses.

My Project
The sky has always been fascinating for students, and a live, working model will show students how the three important things in our universe work and depend on each other.
With this planetarium model, I will bring the sky into the classroom.
Why do seasons change? Why are there eclipses? What is the moon? How and why does the moon have phases?
This planetarium model will answer all of those questions. No book or video will do better than a live model. I love the idea of this for students to manipulate while learning at the same time. There are three very important things in our universe and this model will demonstrate to students the dependency each has on each other.
Lastly, what better way to see the moon up close and personal than with a moon scope!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
