    Orbiter Orbiters are scientific working models representing the sun, earth, and moon and their relationships. They are designed to demonstrate basic earth and moon motions and to explain the causes of day and night, seasons, and phases of the moon. Basic Investigations with the Orbiter are: How the earth’s rotation causes day and night. How the earth’s revolution around the sun and the tilt of its axis causes seasons. Why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west Why there is a midnight sun. Why there are eclipses and More…….. Numerous study project and experiments may be conducted with Orbiters to expand interest and increase knowledge of the subject. Several ideas and projects are suggested. Special Notice:The arm, the Earth and the Moon of this orbiter rotate manually around the Sun. The tilt of the Earth is kept in a static position as it is rotated.

    Illuminated Orbiter Light up the Sun with this version of Orbiter. This model can be plugged into a standard wall outlet (UL approved – 6’ power cord) to illuminate the Sun to effectively demonstrate daylight, night, seasons, and phases of the Moon. The Sun, Earth and Moon manually revolve around one another on this gear-driven model. The earth and moon are shown in true scale. The scale is 1 inch = 2000 miles. If the sun were to be shown at the same scale, it would be approximately 36 feet in diameter! Arm is 15", Sun is 6", and the Earth is 4" in diameter. This 8 page Lesson Plan includes basic investigations and activities on the following topics. Day and Night The Seasons The Moon Observations and Activities Product Dimensions 25.5" X16"X10.50" Weight 5.31 lbs Country of Origin: USA Special Notice:The arm of this orbiter manually rotates around the Sun while the Earth rotates mechanically in the same direction as the arm. TESTIMONIALS - Mary Mamottin - The orbiter was easy to use right away...nothing to assemble. The teacher's guide has much more information than I expected; I think it will be very helpful. the orbiter is what I expected and I look forward to using it with my classes. If there were some way to make the moon's orbit around the earth more realistic (not on the same plane), that would be interesting; however, that might make the model too complicated.

    Illuminated Orbiter (European) 152 Illuminated Orbiter for Foreign Electrical Currents Includes Transformer and Adapter for Foreign Electrical Currents Light up the Sun with this version of Orbiter. This model can be plugged into a standard wall outlet to illuminate the Sun to effectively demonstrate daylight, night, seasons, and phases of the Moon. The Sun, Earth and Moon manually revolve around one another on this gear-driven model. The Orbiters have been scaled to show relatives sizes, distances, and motions of the earth and moon; however, true scale is virtually impossible to show with a model of this size. The earth and moon are, however, shown in true scale. The scale is 1 inch = 2000 miles. If the sun were to be shown at the same scale, it would be approximately 36 feet in diameter! Arm is 15”, Sun is 6”, and the geophysical Earth is 4” in diameter. This 8 page Lesson Plan includes basic investigations and activities on the following topics.

    Globe Kit Throughout the ages, people have proposed many strange diverse theories about the earth. It was flat; its flat surface was encased in a huge half-globe to which the stars were attached; it was the center of the universe; these are just a few of the mistaken ideas people have held. Our understanding of the earth and the skies today is the result of centuries of scientific study and discoveries, and the invention of effective scientific tools to make possible and to verify these findings. The Globe Kit is a working earth model which enable students to solve various problems in such broad topics as earth measurement, astronomy, and seismology. It is a versatile tool to investigate many different problems in science and should not be restricted merely to the investigations wich are included in the manual. Sample Manual - LINK
