Re: [Phys-L] astronomy activities

[Michael Barr <zubarsky@gmail.com>]

Hey Anthony,  I am teaching astronomy next year too.  For the first time.
Would it be possible for you to share some of your resources and or labs?
I participated in a program at Columbia a few years ago called Rooftop
Variables.  They gave me some resources which I would be glad to send you
if your are interested.  They mostly came on a DVD.  Lots of articles and
other activities.  They also gave me a 6 inch Celestron reflector.  Thanks
for any help you can give.  When I proposed the class I told them that I am
not an expert and its just a hobby, so I wanted to class to be an elective
(2 times per week).  Anyway, I got my schedule for next year and its a full
year course.
Thanks again.
