These teams worked on their own and presented posters at the 2019 Winter AAS.
Real astronomy involves being able to problem solve and think critically, apply process skills, and communicate effectively.
I also really like helping new teachers, let them share what they know fill in gaps, help them feel included and not overwhelmed. I want to do more of this, and need to find ways to direct this more effectively in my school and district.
I’m thinking I’ll have my 6th graders each do a project on an observatory in our astronomy unit. There are so many!
