Violent Earth Full-Dome Show

Introducing Violent Earth! This powerful show immerses viewers in the breathtaking forces that shape our planet: erupting volcanoes , shifting plates, and roaring storms that reveal the dynamic nature of Earth itself. We will use this show with two grade levels of students for field trips and pair it with Violent Origins for an amazing public double feature.

What Is It? This program explains and highlights the power that shaped planet Earth. Violent Earth is a cutting-edge, full-dome digital experience designed to immerse viewers in the intense, dynamic forces that continually shape our home planet.

Why Is It Important? Acquiring the Violent Earth program is crucial because it significantly enhances the planetarium's capacity to deliver high-impact, curriculum-aligned Earth science education.

• Superior Educational Tool: The full-dome format provides an unparalleled, immersive learning environment that helps students and families experience complex geological and meteorological concepts in a way that traditional classrooms cannot. The sense of scale and motion makes abstract science—like plate tectonics or the formation of a cyclone—tangible and memorable.

• Serving Local Students: The show is specifically slated to be used for field trips for two different grade levels of students. This means the program directly supports the local school district's science curriculum, providing a critical resource that aligns with educational standards and sparks interest in STEM fields.

Expanding Public Access: By adding a new, modern, and engaging show to its lineup, the Planetarium can attract more visitors for its public viewing events, fulfilling its mission to be a vital community resource for science literacy and discovery.
