Yesterday we hosted an ‘Astronomy Fair’ at school. The twelfth-grade astronomy students prepared lessons and activities for 1st through 3rd graders from a local elementary school. Activities included observatory tours, planetarium shows, scale-modeling the solar system using the school’s large fields, and a science-fair type gathering in Alumni gym. Students experienced weight on different planets, did a ‘Where’s Waldo’ activity with a Saturn V rocket poster, played around with astronomy software on ipads and more. Attached is a slideshow.
This year we also hosted several boy and girl scout troops from around the South Shore, hosted students from Epiphany School in Boston and held a class for Braintree Adult Education.
