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 previous knowledge required. All you need is an eager mind, some black paper, and a device that can support Zoom.
Metas de aprendizaje
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.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
2 Grado
Maestría en Música o Teatro o Artes desde Mary Baldwin College
Licenciatura en Música o Teatro o Artes desde Ashland University
I specialize in Shakespeare and Astronomy, having worked in theater for over 10 years, and for two years as a professional astronomy assistant. I teach courses in Shakespeare Appreciation and Shakespearean acting, as well as basic astronomy for kids.
My strongest belief about teaching is that students need instruction that will stimulate their minds through multimedia and hands-on exercises. I believe that no subject is out of a student’s reach as long as the instructor presents it in a way that is sufficiently engaging. To this end, whenever I teach workshops or classes, I make use of my training in acting, videography, and dramaturgy in order to make whatever I teach come alive.
