  • EUGENE SCIENCE CENTER We Are Aliens – a Guide for Educators Prepared by Haley Sharp, Eugene Science Center Planetarium Direct
    We Are Aliens – A Guide for Educators Prepared by Haley Sharp, Eugene Science Center Planetarium Director, [email protected] About the Planetarium Show We Are Aliens invites your students to explore how our understanding of life on Earth guides the hunt for alien life elsewhere in the universe. We visit Mars, Europa and distant exoplanets to help answer the ultimate question... are we alone? Explore what life needs to thrive and how astronomers use clever techniques to find planets around distant stars in this immersive program that perfectly balances science, education, and entertainment. Next Generation Science Standards We Are Aliens explores topics in each of the four disciplinary core ideas as outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards: physical sciences; life sciences; earth and space sciences; and engineering, technology, and applications of science. From a thorough investigation of the incredible diversity of lifeforms found on Earth, to imagining space missions that can hunt for alien life in our solar system and beyond, there are many ways to connect this planetarium program to your current science lessons. Some relevant standards are listed below: K-LS1-1 Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals need to survive. 1-ESS1-1 Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted. 2-LS4-1 Make observations of planets and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats. 2-ESS2-3 Obtain information to identify where water is found on Earth and that it can be solid or liquid. 3-LS4-3 Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
