With
the Covid-19 virus all around us we are being advised to practice
Social Distancing. Here are some solar activities to learn about our
very own Star & the Sun-Earth connection. Over the next five
days I will be posting daily activities that can be carried out at home
and enjoyed dy individuals and/or small family groups.
Mar 23-27, 2020
Solar Week 2020... an entire week of online lessons, games, videos and hands-on activities about the Sun for grades 5-9 or ages 9-14. Adults are welcome, too...
For
those of us practicing social distancing during the coronavirus
outbreak in the USA and to encourage curve flattening efforts a
concerted effort is being made to keep our citizenry safe while staying
at home and avoiding unneccessary contact with potential virus
carriers. To
help keep our school children learning while staying at home lots of
educators are developing innovative programs to engage, involve, teach
and entertain our youth during these troubling times.
Since
all the outreach events I had scheduled as a NASA Solar System
Ambassador and an Explore Alliance Ambassador over the next 3 months
have all been cancelled, I decided to better utilize my newly
available time by teaming up with the SOLAR WEEK program and add my own
outreach to their already ambitious schedule of events in place for SOLAR WEEK, 2020. Below are next week's dates. I will activate each link on the appropriate day to bring each day's lessons to attendees.
