If you are an Illinois K-12 teacher and are thinking about the Adler Planetarium as a field trip destination, our field trip information can be accessed two ways - call our Group Sales department at 312-294-0361 or 312-294-0364 & leave your name and address. A brochure will be mailed to you. An even easier method is to go to the Adler's website at http://www.adlerplanetarium.org . Field trip packets can be accessed & downloaded through the Education-Teachers section of the website as well as the Visitors section.
In the Education section of the website, you will find a downloadable version of our Astronomy Connections "Gravity and Black Holes" curriculum guide, activities for teachers and families, and COMING SOON will be downloadable versions of exhibit guides to be used on field trips to the Adler. Beginning October 1, activities will be happening in the Adler exhibit galleries Monday through Friday at 10:30 am, 11:30 am, & 2:00 pm. On Saturday and Sunday, activities will be at 11:00 am, 2:00 pm, and 3:00 pm. Please join us for activities & demonstrations such as "Create a Comet" "Energy from the Sun" "Life Cycle of Stars" video presentations "Who Wants to Be an Astronaut?" "Who Wants to Be a Martian?" make-n-take activities (weekends only) and more! Additionally, every Tuesday will be "Telescope Tuesday", weather & temperature permitting. Be sure to stop by & take a look at the Sun! Specific schedules for each day will be posted in both lobbies and specific activity schedules will change every day. We hope you will come & see & participate in all the hard work put forth by the Informal Programs section of the Adler Education Department. We're wild, we're wacky, and we have a lot of fun...you and your class will, too! Michelle Michelle Nichols, Lead Educator for Informal Programs Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum 1300 S.
