Imaginova, a leading science and technology digital media and commerce company, has released Starry Night Elementary School, a ground-breaking space science curriculum solution for grades K-4. The software was created for first-time science teachers and experienced instructors searching for a visually captivating and academically rigorous method to introduce astronomy to elementary school students. Each lesson follows science content standards, engages multiple learning styles and seamlessly relates to other subject areas such as language arts, fine arts, math and social studies.

 

"Imaginova is committed to supporting a higher standard of teaching science in the classroom. We developed a curriculum, based on our award winning Starry Night Elementary School software, that exposes elementary school children to earth- and space-science concepts. This will help young students grasp more abstract topics relating to astronomy in the future," said Seth Meyers, Vice President and General Manager, Imaginova Studios. "Equally important are the tools we offer educators to create fun and engaging lesson plans while meeting education standards and requirements."

 

Starry Night Elementary School helps teachers fulfill their curriculum requirements through in-depth lesson plans that correlate with national and state curriculum standards. Professional science educators developed the lessons, which were then tested in classrooms. The astronomy and earth science topics are suitable for each grade level and include concepts like day and night, the motion of the sky, our solar system and constellations. The lessons are supplemented by DVD multimedia content, interactive computer exercises and simulations, hands-on activities and reproducible materials. The data from Starry Night Elementary School software, including the new elementary version, can be displayed on Spitz's SciDome and Learning Technology Inc.'s STARLAB digital planetariums.

"Planetariums have always provided some of the most enduring, powerful astronomy experiences. One of the coolest features of Starry Night Elementary School is that students can create their own presentations in the classroom and then see them displayed on a big planetarium dome. It can be a truly unforgettable moment and educational experience," says Scott Huggins, Marketing Director for Spitz Inc.

 

Starry Night Elementary School is the newest addition to Imaginova's highly regarded line of Educational Science Simulation products. Starry Night High School and Starry Night Middle School are the leading Astronomy products in the US and Canada. Imaginova Starry Night software is Windows® XP and Macintosh® OS X 10.3 and 10.4 compatible.
