Astronomy Dept and "The 4th Grade Experience" for 2026

May 20, 2026

 

I provided a 2-part presentation for Serina E's young students visiting Cabrillo. We had a 1 hr planetarium show I prepared and gave. The kids loved it! Super enthusiastic. Then, I set up a telescope in the walkway at the Amphitheater and we studied the sun through a 8" scope with solar filter and I explained sunspots and how the sun works.

1.75 hrs of presentation, 2x for preparations = 3.5 hrs total

Below are some pix I shot on my iPhone during the solar viewing session...
