I just gave an all day workshop on teaching astronomy in 8th grade at the Texas Regional Collaborative to about 25 teachers. It was fun, and I explained that my opportunities with RBSE and Spitzer allowed me to 1) get a better feel for how research is really done, and 2) really understand how astronomers use the tools of spectroscopy and H-R diagrams to study such distant objects.
