PASS
Planetarium Activities for Student Success

Cary Sneider, Alan Friedman, and Alan Gould, Editors

Designed for both experienced planetarium instructors and teachers using a planetarium for the first time, this series provides a wealth of ready-to-go ideas and practical suggestions for planning and presenting entertaining and educationally effective programs for students.

The first four books in the series provide a general orientation to astronomy and space science education, with applications for both the planetarium and classroom settings. The other eight books each present a complete planetarium program and related classroom activities. The books are available for purchase individually or as a full set.
