The Heavens Declare! - Astronomy Workshop
Join Bill and Merilee Clifton - creationists, science educators, authors, and Florida Master Naturalists – as we focus on astronomy in an “out of this world” workshop! We’ll compare and contrast the biblical and secular worldviews of astronomy. Topics include astronomy versus astrology, astronomy in the Bible, the earth, moon, stars, constellations, meteors, planets, our Solar System, galaxies, and the universe. Mr. Clifton will present a fascinating astronomy program, and we will make astronomy crafts. The highlight of this workshop will be a planetarium show, “The Gospel in the Stars,” in our STARLAB, a portable planetarium.
PLEASE NOTE: This workshop is best suited for ages 5 and up. The presentation inside the STARLAB is not suitable for younger children.
SET UP: To set up the STARLAB portable planetarium, we need a 12-foot ceiling and a 20-foot by 20-foot floor space. For the PowerPoint presentation, we need a screen or wall to project onto and seats for the group. For the crafts, we need six-foot or eight-foot tables and trash cans.
