Immersive Science At Fine And Delair
By Angel-Marie Cook, District Science Supervisor
Imagine riding on a heart pounding water canyon travelling over an erupting volcano; joining paleontologists as they dig for dinosaur bones and come face to face with monstrous sized dinosaurs; or riding a magical cardboard rocket zooming through the tunnels of space.
Last month, the students of Fine and Delair Elementary Schools experienced the mesmerizing excitement of the Dome Mobile Theater. The highly innovative Dome Mobile Theater provides the latest technology in audiovisual educational programs. Students were immersed in a 16’ x 16’ x 10’ surround sound, 3D imagery theater, as they explored earth and space science-themed shows. Kindergarten through fourth grades experienced thrilling shows such as, “Earth’s Wild Ride,” “Time Space,” “Force Five,” “The Dinosaur Prophecy,” and more. While each show was a mere 30 minutes, students gained scientific understandings and memories which will last for a lifetime.
