This virtual team collects all independent research presented in 2014, and done by NITARP or Spitzer alumni with (or without) students outside of a formal NITARP team.
I’m thinking I’ll have my 6th graders each do a project on an observatory in our astronomy unit. There are so many!
So many of us science teachers do labs where the end is known (which is sometimes necessary to make sure they fit in a class period and that the students understand the concept we're trying to learn) but that's not really science.
You really do become co-learners with the students.
