Message: As a planetarian, I have had this conversation numerous times, and have shown the original Project Universe tape several times to groups of teachers and students. I was one of the satellite workshop coordinators at one of the remote sites. Most of the misconceptions tend to be misPERceptions in my experience. By allowing the students to recognize and confront them there is a chance that changes in understanding can be made. My wish in posting this is to fuel the discussion and see what you think! |
