In this ongoing discussion group, learners will read and discuss scientific papers. Reading and analyzing scientific literate is one of the most important skills a scientist or scholar of any field must develop. In this class, learners practice this critical skill while learning about cutting-edge research in the fields of physics, earth, and space science. Learners will practice: - Reading critically - Analyzing information - Critical thinking - Academic discourse The instructor will guide the group discussion, presenting discussion questions, additional background information, and encouraging respectful participation. This is a highly interactive class. The group will vote on what papers they are most interested in exploring from a list presented by the instructor from open-access journals such as: The Planetary Science Journal The Astrophysical Journal PLOS ONE - Earth Sciences Geosciences New Journal of Physics Nature Communications PDFs will be provided for each paper.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Maestría desde 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 big, fluffy orange cat named Moose!
I like to keep class sizes small so each learner can get individualized and full attention. Please feel free to reach out.
