Scientific paper
The Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium is located in the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mount Coot-tha, in the Brisbane suburb of Toowong, and features a Zeiss `Spacemaster RFP DP3' Planetarium projector; an observatory with a 15cm Zeiss coudé refracting telescope, a 20cm Meade LX90 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and a 44.4cm reflector; a mini-theatre; display galleries; and an outdoor garden area with a 4.6m diameter sundial. Since its opening in 1978, the Planetarium has played a key role in introducing astronomy to school students from throughout Australia. In this paper we summarize the Queensland primary school astronomy curriculum, and discuss ways in which the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium has used tailored live planetarium programs, mini-theatre presentations, observing nights, in-house resource materials, displays and special lectures to enhance the astronomical understanding of Queensland primary school pupils and trainee teachers.
