Action Sun – Lets bring the Sun to Earth © by Deirdre Kelleghan
Action Sun – is an indoor or outdoor activity which allows groups of children to participate in building a large solar disc or several solar discs. This Earth built sun mimics the Photosphere and Chromosphere of the sun, includes sunspots, filaments, and prominences present on the sun in real time. The materials are simple, paper, glue and paint. It is kinaesthetic participatory learning for young children. The activity educates and supports science through art and the creative process.
Ideally this Action Sun event will take its data directly from the sun , but if its cloudy the real time data will come from The Solar Dynamics Observatory site in h alpha. We will bring the sun to Earth and also learn about its place in our solar system and other wonderful things about our star.
