• Communicating Astronomy

    This course is for undergraduate or graduate students interested in improving their ability to communicate their scientific knowledge to the public and more specifically to K-12 students. The course combines lectures in science education and teaching methodology and pedagogy with six weeks of supervised teaching in local K-12 schools. The students will use materials developed from the Lawrence Hall of Science and other sources and will develop a demonstration of their own. They will receive feedback on their presentations. There will be some general discussion of the state and methods of science education.
