Mr. Tim Campbell and seven fellow
Ford Amateur Astronomy Club members visited West Middle School on April 26.
They brought eight telescopes of
various sizes and magnification. Over 300 eighth-grade students were able
to view the sun, including sunspots and solar flares, the moon, craters and the
planet Venus. One member of the club showed the students actual meteorites.
This was a wonderful extension of the
science curriculum. Positive feedback was received from all. The
students were very appreciative of this exceptional opportunity. Members
of the astronomy club complimented our students on their wonderful behavior and
interesting questions. The dialogue between astronomy club members and
students was engaging and thought provoking.
