To study the Sun, the Earth, and the electric space between them.
To help us make the visible and invisible space around Earth accessible to your students. This workshop marks the beginning of an 18-month program to develop activities, games, exercises, reading materials, and science kits. We hope to enable students not only to observe the same images and data as ISTP scientists, but to develop a rudimentary understanding of what those images and data mean. With your help, we will share our ongoing process of discovery and give students the chance to look over our shoulders as we study Sun and Earth.
Middle school and high school teachers in physics, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, and earth sciences.
