Stellar neighborhoods produce striking patterns when observing our starry night. Understanding the dynamics of stellar formation and dispersion is essential to understanding the evolution of our Universe. We will apply hands-on training methods and then use these tools to observe the starry night with our telescopes at star parties this month.

This course will provide K-12 teachers with a solid foundation to teach science in a simple and relevant way. Teachers will use a see-one-do-one-teach-one technique to raise confidence and effectiveness in teaching systems of science through the lens of astronomy. Teachers will develop inquiry skills to encourage their students to arrive at answers rather than using traditional memorization techniques. This course will provide several hands-on techniques to teaching fundamental space science concepts and provide ways to use readily available resources to reinforce science standards.
