Reflecting on Astro week
Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011posted by: mmelady
It was an amazing week at the Astro Institute. Every day there was something new to learn and think about. On Friday Chuck Beuter’s presentation fascinated me especially the transit of Venus. I want to share this information with the first graders and get our school involved. Our principal is very supportive in matters of science and I think she may be interested too.
Early Saturday morning about 5:30 we were camping at Lake Michigan and had the opportunity to observe the stars just before sunrise and right overhead was the brightest star of the sky and I was sure it was a planet, but which one? My guess was it may have been Venus. Just like a child, I stood and wondered!
Science is my love!
