Class Experience
1. We'll cover the science of where stars come from. 2. We'll learn about constellations and the wonderful stories the stars tell, which you can find everywhere from superhero films to nursery rhymes. 3. We'll go over a few simple tips for finding constellations and planets in your own backyard! I'll use interactive classroom technology as well as DIY science experiments as well as a virtual star tour that I've created myself, to give fun, engaging, and useful science lessons. There is no...
Students will learn the scientific life-cycle of a star from a cloud of super heated gasses, to yellow-life giving suns, to violent supernovas or black holes. We will then describe the history and mythology of constellations which appear in numerous pop-culture incarnations like Draco the Dragon in Harry Potter and Hercules. I will conclude by giving practical tips on how to observe and find a few constellations like Draco, The Big Dipper, and the six visible planets from one's own backyard.
I will send digital worksheets as PDFs that the students may fill out during the class. They can then upload the completed worksheet for a digital badge and certificate.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
