Project Lakeland Astronomer Dr. Knight partners with Ms. Watson’s Earth and Space Science classes for out-of-this-world learning experiences Feb. 2014

2. Dr. Knight creates comet models Students make observations and collect data on how comets change over time

3. Students discover that comets are “dirty snowballs” in outer space

4. Before apps: Students create and then learn how to use star charts to find constellations

5. How much bigger is Jupiter than Earth
How much bigger is Jupiter than Earth? Student teams use dough models to create a scale model of planet sizes

6. Team success! Earth is the size of a pea next to Jupiter

Even though you study comets, you are our favorite STAR!
