In this class students will improve their understanding about Space. This course is a perfect fit for space enthusiasts who wish to expand their knowledge of astronomy. No prior knowledge on the subject is necessary. Students will learn everything about ONE celestial object/topic each week. 🩸 This is an Ongoing Class and a student may join and drop-in any week of the class. 🩸This is a continuous 52-week course that operates in a rotating cycle. The classes are self-contained, this means the learners can join at any point during the 52-week cycle. Upon successful completion of all 52 weeks of this course, learners will receive a certificate of completion. Please send a message to notify me when your learner has completed the entire course. 🩸🩸🩸I may open several sections of this class open during the week. The same topic is discussed in all the sections of the week. If there is a schedule conflict anytime in a week, please let me know and I will be happy to transfer you to another section of this class for a different day and/or time. Thanks.:) • Since I share videos in class that require permission and subscription, I am able to play them in class but not able to share them online. For this reason I do not share the class recording but always willing to make a transfer to another section of the week if there is an open section. Thanks.:) 🩸• First 2 minutes will be an introduction of the teacher and students and a discussion on the topic for the day. • Next 23 minutes will be teacher sharing a Google Slide presentation, reinforcing the concepts learned in the class with examples and watching short video clips on the topic discussed for the class. These video clips will be from credible educational sources with graphics and animations. Students are welcome to discuss and ask questions to make the class interactive. • Last 5 minutes a student will share his/her learning with the class and may ask relevant and essential questions.
