INSPIRED LEARNING
Teachers Keep on Teaching
I have a simple mind. I think of anything—say, writing this piece—and within
minutes a song with associated lyrics starts playing on my inside jukebox.
Right now it’s Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” playing on Radio-Me.
You remember that line, “Teachers keep on teaching?” Well, that’s what we
help teachers do here at the Pink.
Teachers have one of the hardest jobs going. Everyone who doesn’t do it
can tell those who do how. And they say there is a crisis in education, too.
Of course there is. There always is. Helping kids learn how to thrive in the
world is the definition of a crisis—“a time of intense difficulty.“ It also is what
grownups do in every generation.
We have invested a lot recently to help teachers. We installed 3D and digital
capacity in the CTI giant screen theater. That gives us not only 3D, but the
ability to quickly and easily show educational movies as “teacher’s choices”
on demand. The AutoZone Dome at the Sharpe Planetarium also has added
digital capacity. So, the shows are more varied, dynamic and entertaining,
as well as more educational. Simply put: two immensely improved learning
experiences.
Much more is on the way. In early 2018, we will unveil a completely
re-imagined Pink Palace Mansion. We will pioneer a digital docent there
that will unlock our rich collections for students, teachers, and the whole
community. Then, we will re-do all our exhibits. We‘re planning that now and
we are nowhere near done, but I will tell you that I know already our efforts
will create a world-class museum.
So, teachers, please, please, please keep on teaching. And please let us do all
we can to help.

school PROGRAMS
Shows Monday - Friday / 9:45am, 11am & 12 Noon
Tokyo, Japan and installed by Magna-tech Electronic Company
in Miami, Florida.
Full Dome Digital Video is finally here and it will revolutionize
your planetarium experience. Get completely immersed in sight,
sound and comfort like never before!
The dome is 50’ across, with a top that is 32’ 6” off-of-floor: the
screen area is 3,925 sq. ft., making it the largest projection
screen in Memphis.
The new Planetarium seats 145 people, with 5 designated
wheelchair spaces.
The Digital planetarium system is a SUPERMEDIAGLOBE II
manufactured by the Konica Minolta Planetarium Co., LTD in
SUPER MEDIAGLOBE-II is the world’s first full-color singlelens digital planetarium. It projects simulations of the latest
information gathered about our universe and presents it with
leading-edge digital dome technology. Its immersive digital
planetarium functions simulate not just the earth and sky, but
can take audiences to the edge of the known universe. The
MEDIAGLOBE’s famous Graphical Control Interface (GUI) is now
as powerful as it is easy to use.
The projected image is 2,400 pixels in diameter, placing more
than 4.5 million pixels on the dome. The software generates
real-time simulations of the cosmos as seen from Earth or
anywhere in the known universe. It can simulate space and time
travel by showing how the night sky changes over 1 million years
in the past and up to 1 million years into the future.

LICHTERMAN NATURE CENTER PERMANENT EXHIBITS
Life Cycles
Human Impact
Discover how there is very little of Earth
that is untouched by some form of human
impact. Find out what you can do everyday
to heighten your appreciation and
stewardship for the natural world.
See how life passes through a series of
stages as part of a greater continuing
cycle. Learn how animals are born, grow,
reproduce and die, just as plants sprout,
grow, reproduce and die.
Changes
Urban Wildlife
Learn about animals that once roamed
freely in the Mid-South, including
some still found here. See preserved
specimens of rare animals like the
Ivory-billed woodpecker.
This exhibit helps us understand the
changes that are constantly taking place in
nature. Learn how ecosystems go through
cycles, how lakes can eventually become
forests, and how fire can be beneficial to the
life cycles of a forest or meadow.
Buckman Water Science Trail
Adaptations
Learn how each living creature has
adapted a unique combination of features
and behaviors in order to survive. See
physical adaptations like turtle shells,
furs and webbed feet, and also observe
behavioral adaptations like camouflage,
communication and hibernation.
The panels around Mertie’s Lake display
information about the science of
water and how it relates to human and
environmental health.
Backyard Wildlife Center
Seasons
Frogs, turtles, and snakes, oh my! This
educational gold mine is filled with both
living and preserved specimens of native
animals. Engage your students with
fascinating exhibits like Bites, Stings and
Exotic Things, Forest Board Walk, the Lake
Viewing Area and the Nature Nook.
Seasonal changes are gradual and ongoing.
See how some changes are easier to notice,
like colorful leaves on a fall day, while
other changes, like animal behaviors, are
sometimes harder to recognize.

values and traditions. Students will explore these elements of society to develop an appreciation and respect for the variety
of human culture.
(E) Economics: Globalization of the economy, explosion of population growth, technological changes and international
competition compel students to understand both personally and globally production, distribution, and consumption of
goods and services. Students will examine and analyze concepts such as basic needs versus wants, using versus saving
money, and policy-making versus decision-making.
(G) Geography: Geography enables the students to see, understand and appreciate the web of relationships between
people, places and environments. Students use the knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts within the six essential
elements of geography: world in spatial terms, places and regions, physical systems, human systems, environment and
society, and the uses of geography.
(H) History: History involves people, events and issues. Students will evaluate evidence to develop comparative and causal
analyses, and to interpret primary sources. They will construct sound historical arguments and perspectives on which
informed decisions in contemporary life can be based.
(P) Governance, Civics and Politics: Governance, establishes structures of power and authority in order to provide order
and stability. Civic efficacy requires understanding rights and responsibilities, ethical behavior, and the role of citizens within
their community, nation and world.
(TN) Tennessee Connection: Tennessee has a unique story and provides a more intimate view of the past in our present
