All grade levels

The "old" Montréal Planetarium closed permanently on October 10, 2011. Meanwhile, the new Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan is under construction next to the Biodôme. During the interim, we have to scale down and re-orient our education and outreach activities; however, our educational information sheets will remain available for teachers to download and use in their classroom. The sheets are in PDF format and can be read with the free Adobe® Reader® software.

For each activity sheet, the grade levels are clearly identified; the essential knowledges as well as the concepts covered in the acitivity are well identified. You can therefore find more easily the activity sheets most relevant to your situation: download it by clicking the icon on the left. Once the activity sheets downloaded and printed, you can produce as many copies of the student sheets as necessary.

Feel free to contact us if you have any problems when downloading or when using the material in class.
