Is there life out there? An Astrobiology workshop for teachers – Grades 5-12
Astrobiology is an exciting, interdisciplinary field of study that includes the search for habitable environments and the consideration of where life might exist in our solar system and beyond. The revised New Jersey Science Process standards ask teachers to make meaningful connections between concepts across content areas. Learn how you can use Astrobiology as a way to connect astronomy, biology, physics, chemistry and geology as you explore the possibilities of life elsewhere, consider the conditions under which life can develop and thrive, and examine the properties of stars that could have planets harboring life.
Due to grant support, the New Jersey Astronomy Center's Science Education Institute is able to offer a NEW AstroBiology workshop for only $25!
