These teams worked on their own and presented posters at the 2019 Winter AAS.
I’m thinking I’ll have my 6th graders each do a project on an observatory in our astronomy unit. There are so many!
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.
The "new" astronomy has become something we all knew was coming: handling huge chunks of data and learning how to mine this information from sets so large that it is simply mind boggling. The interesting thing is that many people are not aware of this, notably teachers in the trenches.
