Resumo

The curriculum of the First Course of the Spanish Compulsory Secondary Education includes as obligatory contents aspects related to the astronomical topics like the identification of the elements of the Solar System, the interpretation of the phenomena related to the movements of the Earth and the use of simple skills of orientation based on the observation of the stars. In this article we propose to use a free computer application, Stellarium, when these topics are taught in the classroom. We will describe here some of the possibilities that this program of planetarium has and we will provide concrete examples of activities that can be done with it.
