One by one, the Linkhorne Middle School students pushed through the narrow entryway of what looked like a blue igloo, into the domes inner chamber. <\/p>\n
The school played host Tuesday to a Dome Theater Mobile Planetarium, rented from Kramer Entertainment, Inc. with funds from the schools 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant. <\/p>\n
During the school day, 442 students got a chance to watch educational films projected on the arched ceiling of the 9 foot tall and 13 feet wide inflatable structure. Subjects ranged from extreme weather to a look inside the human body. <\/p>\n
I like that it was spontaneous, said sixth-grader Jaden Sneed, after watching Night of the Titanic. <\/p>\n
You didnt know what was going to happen. <\/p>\n
Sneed and members of GiGi Sweeneys math class crowded in with other students for the showing. <\/p>\n
More than 30 sixth-graders fit inside the dome, sitting cross-legged with notebooks ready. Some oohed and aahed as the camera panned across the ship, a myriad windows glowing atop darkened waters. <\/p>\n
Sweeney asked her students to listen with their math ears and note any math-related topics covered in the film, which examined the science behind the tragedy. <\/p>\n
For example, student AAniyah Crews appreciated discovering the fatal iceberg was 7\/8 underwater a fraction, she said, just like theyve been studying. <\/p>\n
In addition to the school day showings, about 80 students and family members signed up for a Tuesday evening event, featuring the film Passport to the Galaxy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
