Understanding global ideas in 3D is a challenge for anyone!
The Magic Planet overcomes this problem by using images and animations to show a wide range of global information:

• weather systems & climate change
• earthquakes & volcanoes
• satellite tracking
• oceans draining
• solar system tour
• satellites of Jupiter & Saturn
• new ideas about exoplanets - planets around nearby stars

Our Space workshop includes large high-resolution astronomical images from the global exhibition 'From Earth To The Universe' (Fettu) and the latest information from the new spaceprobes - Kepler, Herschel & Planck.

Arts activities use mixed media and film-making to enable everyone to participate in this experiential workshop.  Kinaesthetic learning is used with the whole group in an 'orbits' exercise.

Artwork can be mounted and a DVD edited for a small additional charge.
Extension material is also available.
