| Abstract: |
Various elements of a workshop centered on the EPOXI flyby of comet 103P/Hartley 2 were combined to meet several goals: participation in the Galileo
Teacher Training Program, relation to a NASA mission, introduction to the
Year of the Solar System, and continuing relations with teachers to pass
current information on to their communities. The program elements include a
residential workshop for teachers at McDonald Observatory, a short workshop
at the Texas state science teachers' meeting, evaluation, and continuing
electronic communication with participants. Evaluation results indicate the
workshop successfully prepared teachers to implement activities and
disseminate the new information with their students and their colleagues. |
