ABSTRACT
This paper tries to support young children regarding their understanding about planets such as Sun, Moon and our planet by using technology, particularly through three-dimensional virtual environments, which whom are in primary school at the second stage, can have an early understanding about the shape of the Sun, Moon, and Earth, and the relationship among them, how the moon seems to change shape and how it occurs, phenomenon of day and night, through the use of vision of 3D holograms. 3D hologram vision system may be an effective tool for the teaching on various topics, like astronomy, which interpreted the relationships between objects in Aerospace. Presently, From other hand the Indiana state standards toward science education does not refer or suggest to the learning of this area and concepts for phenomenon of astronomy clearly, before fourth stage. So far, we expect our findings indicates that the students can learn from the previous these concepts in their learning lives with the implementation of these technologies. In addition the expect that these techniques could happen revolution and a quantum leap in education and raising the ability and cognition in children regarding in the understanding of scientific topics.
