universe all start and where is it going? Learn the answers
to
these questions and have fun doing hands-on activities that will
stimulate
your imagination and curiosity. The class will meet in the modern
Montgomery
College Planetarium and use real data collected by spacecrafts and
observatories.
Algebra and use of Texas Instruments graphing calculators is required.
Investigate
topics in astronomy and learn the physics necessary to make sense of
the
universe. This course is designed so that you could start
or
continue a meaningful science
fair project in space science
using real data perhaps collected by a spacecraft or earth borne
observatory if you choice. This is a research based course where
instead of learning about science you actually are expected to do
science. Science as a verb not a noun.
The instructor for the course is Dr. Harold Williams and I want to be your mentor.
Monday, July 31 through Friday, August 11, 2006 at 9am-noon in the planetarium at Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus of Montgomery College.
