V12: StonehengeStudents learn what Stonehenge is and how it could have been used by its builders as a gigantic astronomical calendar. They also learn how astronomer Gerald Hawkins discovered one of Stonehenge's probable functions, by actively formulating and testing their
own hypotheses in the planetarium. Along the way, they learn a lot about apparent solar motion, and the creation of the research field of "archaeoastronomy." Classroom activities include constructing a special Solar Motion Demonstrator to represent the entire yearly cycle of the solar motion.Our Price: $12.50
