Astronomy from the Ground Up - Educator’s Course
Lynn Morgan, Staff Naturalist, was chosen this year to be trained in teaching Astronomy through a national organization called Astronomy From the Ground Up. The Nature Museum will be offering an Astronomy focused educator training in September as part of our new connection with the Astronomy From the Ground Up organization.
Astronomy From the Ground Up (AFGU) is an organization that is devoted to getting people interested in astronomy through hands-on activities. The educator training course will be a demonstration of eight AFGU activities; participants will be given information on how to access the AFGU web site and how to get signed up on the AFGU Online resource site for AFGU alumni only. This online site is a valuable resource where you can ask questions & get answers from astronomers, download new activities, and be kept up to date on astrological events.
The course will take place Saturday, September 13, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. If you are an educator who is interested, please call 802-843-2111 to pre-register.
