On March 22, Mr. Maranto presented a workshop at the New Hampshire Science Teachers' Association's Elementary, Middle/Junior High, and High School Conference.
The title of his program was: "The Dirtiest, Smelliest, Coldest, and Farthest Places in the Universe, the Spitzer Space Telescope and Classroom Activities for Learning About Infrared Light."
Following a PowerPoint presentation covering the characteristics of infrared, the usefulness of infrared in astronomy, the instrumentation on Spitzer, and some Spitzer discoveries, they did a series of hands-on activities that were inspired by the Active Astronomy kit.
