"Earth Update" (NEW - NASA "Seal of Approval"!)

our NASA Earth Science Outreach program, including our newimmersive dome theatre productions - with much more to come!

In Spring 2002 we will offer ASTR 403: "Astronomy for Teachers" , a 3-hour course "ASTR 403 (or EDUC 589)". This will teach teachers how to use our "Space Update" software in their classrooms, and will bring classroom activities aligned with the Math and Science TEKS. Thanks to NASA, we can offer a special $250 tuition rate to practicing teachers (which can be waived for certain HISD HU-LINC teachers).

ASTR 403 is a required course for the "Masters of Science Teaching" Degree. (Contact the Department of Physics and Astronomy for details and requirements.)
