We went out to CEWC’s Outdoor Discovery School which hosted the Excellent Montessori school. Frank and Shelby Garner and Theo Ramakers dis some inside presentations and activities for the group. As one of the activities they made a scale model of the Solar system and learned how telescopes work and invert what you see through them. After sunset it went out to the JW Astronomy Field to observe some of the night sky beauties. The students and parents took a close up look at the moon, they saw Jupiter and four of its moons, as well as Mars. They learned how to find the North Star using the big dipper as a helper. A great group again with eager to learn students. Click the image below to link to the gallery.
