Callie,s Corner：天文學入門（8-10 歲）

This course will be twice a week for 4 weeks and students will be introduced to the study of Astronomy. We will use different software programs such as Celestia and Stellarium to view objects that are discussed. The class will be interactive with a small lecture, discussion, and relevant slides. 

Class 1: Ancient Astronomers
Class 2: Naked Eye Observations
Class 3: Fundamental Concepts (What is energy, matter, and gravity?)
Class 4: Moon
Class 5: Inner Solar System
Class 6: Outer Solar System
Class 7: Property of Stars
Class 8: Death of Stars

Homework will not be assigned but I will reach out if I feel your student needs extra work. I will have office hours for any questions or further clarification. The interactive class allows me to gauge the students’ understanding of the different concepts. Students should have a better understanding of our place in the universe and how it all works after the completion of the course. I do offer a space club that would be great for students to further discuss ideas and ask more questions.
