September-December 2006 updates for Ms. Herrold

Published: December 15, 2006

Ms. Herrold gave a talk at the Metro Detroit Science Teachers Association on ideas for teaching infrared astronomy and Spitzer on Oct. 21. It was an hour long and attended by about 45 people.

Ms. Herrold's student Zak Schroeder is continuing work with her on the galaxy cluster project. Zak is preparing to enter science fair with his research.

This fall, Ms. Herrold has incorporated Spitzer into her 3 ninth grade Earth Science classes- a group in each class featured it in their multiwavelength observatories projects (impact: 90 students). She has also taught about it in her Astronomy class (20 students, grades 10-12).

The application period is now closed for NITARP 2025. We will release our selection for the 2025 class at the 2025 January AAS.
