| The Radford University Science Alliance is a group of RU faculty and students hosts K-12 school groups here at RU for a "Science Day." These are day-long field trips full of science activities for your students. Joining the RU Planetarium in the Science Alliance are the Physics Department, the Geology Department's Museum of the Earth Sciences, the Biology Department's Greenhouse, and the Chemistry Department. | For more information about this or to schedule your group for a Science Day please contact Dr. Rhett Herman, rherman@radford.edu.
Other groups (school groups, scout groups, community groups, etc.) may also schedule individual planetarium shows by contacting Dr. Rhett Herman at (540) 831-5441 (office phone), (540) 831-5652 (Department office), rherman@radford.edu. |
The Department of Physics is pleased to offer our planetarium shows for free to anyone who visits us.
