Grapevine-Colleyville ISD learned about the solar system ahead of Monday's total eclipse in Texas thanks to an inflatable planetarium called StarLab.
Britt McDougal teaches PE at Timberline Elementary School in Grapevine, but these days, leading up to the eclipse, she’s giving kids' minds a workout.
The kids lie back as a computer program zooms around outer space, projecting images of the planets, sun, and stars, allowing them to get a better sense of the solar system and how every once in a while the moon and sun line up to provide an amazing sight. If you’re wondering why Coach McDougal is teaching this rather than, say the science teacher, it’s because the district wanted kids to really have fun with it, be inquisitive, and look at it differently than their daily class work. Ultimately enjoy the excitement of it all.
