Ages 7-12
Which is the brightest star of the ursa minor? How do you measure the distance between celestial objects and the horizon? After a guided tour of the exhibition, we learn about some devices that were used to determine time and direction before mechanical clocks became common, such as the quadrant and astrolabe used in astronomy, as well as a device called qibla-numa. Then, using simple materials we design our own astrolabe, a device used to measure the latitude of a location when held towards the North Star. Through this workshop, we improve our ability to make objective observations using our senses and measuring tools, as well as our knowledge of astronomy.
