Astronomy equipment covers the models, kits and instruments used to study planets, orbits and space phenomena, turning abstract concepts like orbital motion into something learners can see and handle directly.
SmartLabs stocks solar system models, orbitor models, compasses and space wall charts. Every item is chosen to support CAPS Geography and Natural Sciences astronomy topics for South African schools.
From solar system models to orbitor models and space charts.
A solar system model lays out the planets in order around the sun, giving learners a clear reference for relative position and scale.
A Sun-Earth-Moon orbitor model demonstrates orbital mechanics directly, showing how the three bodies move in relation to each other.
A compass supports fieldwork and orientation exercises, connecting astronomy concepts like the Earth's magnetic field to practical navigation.
Telescope wall charts explain how different telescope designs work, giving a permanent classroom reference for observational astronomy.
