The Solar System is a busy place! In this four week course we will explore its four major regions and the objects and processes within them. Students will be introduced to concepts such as, but not limited to: space weather, star and planetary formation, gravity and orbits, and astronomical distance. This course is perfect for the young space enthusiast who wants to deepen and expand their knowledge of Space. However, no previous knowledge in the subject is required. Classes are designed to encourage student engagement and follow their curiosity. Week One: The Core - Overview - Sun - Heliosphere Week Two: The Inner Region - Terrestrial Planets - Near-Earth Objects - Asteroid Belt Week Three: The Middle Region - Gas Giant Planets - Ice Giant Planets - Centaurs - Moons - Rings Week Four: Outer Region - Dwarf Planets - Kuiper Belt - Heliopause - Oort Cloud There are no prerequisites for this class, just a love of learning and curiosity about astronomy and outer space.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from American Military University
Hello! My name is Arwen, and I am absolutely passionate about space science, the environment, and teaching! I offer courses about the solar system, planets, natural processes, soil, and the environment. I am a NASA Solar System Ambassador and science author. My Master's is in Space Science, and I have undergraduate degrees in Agricultural Ecology, and Natural Resource Management. I am currently working on a doctorate in STEM education.
I believe curiosity and learning are human instincts. I try to honor that by asking the learners lots of questions and encouraging them to think about information in new ways.
When not teaching, you can find me hosting "Found in Space: A Science Podcast for Kids and Teens" or playing Dungeons and Dragons and exploring the Southwest with my three homeschooled kiddos and our cat named Eratosthenes!
I like to keep class sizes small so each learner can get individualized and full attention. Please feel free to reach out.
