Authentic Assessment iconThe exploration and study of the universe plays such an important role in human life that schools, cities, and organizations have created theaters just to. Part fun and part education, these planetariums seek to immerse attendees in presentations about constellations, and other astronomical bodies. Thousands of people attend planetariums each year to learn more about astronomy. For this assignment, you have two options. Please read through each option below to determine how to complete this assignment.

Option A: Visit a Planetarium

For this assignment option, you will locate a planetarium in your region for you to visit. Once you have attended the planetarium, complete the Planetarium Form. Make sure to print a copy of the Planetarium Form prior to attending the planetarium because you will need a signature from a planetarium employee.
