With funding and support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Gemini Observatory AMPATH , a Florida International University international Internet exchange point to research institutions in South America. Under development for almost five years, this link allows Gemini to move forward towards its goal of becoming the world's first "cyber observatory." According to Peter Michaud, Public Information and Outreach Manager for the Gemini Observatory, "A virtual ribbon cutting on August 13, 2002 officially inaugurated the new link between the twin observatories. This link will allow astronomers to access skies in both the northern and southern hemispheres without having to travel to Hawaii or Chile."

    Extractions: Online Astronomy Activities Interactive, inquiry-based lesson avaiable on Craigmont Planetarium Web site soon; more to follow by Rebecca Finley As a part of its outreach program, Craigmont Planetarium is working on an online astronomy module to be used along with the general science curriculum. Students will complete the module through distance learning, a type of education that does not take place in one classroom setting. In this course, students will be able to chat with and e-mail other students and teachers about their research, their lab work, and their outdoor observations. This type of learning is different from computer based training because the students will have an opportunity to interact with other students and teachers through the computer - not just interact with the computer. The program is targeted at upper elementary and middle school aged students, from ages nine - fourteen. Students who participate in this program should be highly motivated, but they do not necessarily have to be extremely gifted. The program is designed for fourth or fifth grade understanding, but it will accommodate readers at a lower grade level as well. The first module deals with the phases of the Moon. Students will keep a Moon journal, in which they record the phases of the Moon they observe each day of the month; participate in chat sessions; and read and study charts and other information pertaining to the Moon. There will also be optional activities and simulations in which students can choose to participate.

Be dazzled and spectacled by the rising of the full moon that night! 2 of the largest planets in the solar system will be visible, and nicely position right above our heads. To add more excitement, the sky will open to us with the most easy to recognize constellation, Orion the Hunter, accompanied by the brightest star in the sky, Sirius, and not to forget the famous open cluster, the Pleiades, also called the Seven Sisters. We will most probably do the observation near the Masjid UPM or the Padang Kawad UPM. Both are easily distinguishable and accessible places.

    Extractions: I work with my son's Tiger Cub Scout troupe and I am looking for astronomy activities that they can understand and enjoy. I have NASA's solar system coloring book (puzzle cubes) and I have a copy of the M.A.R.S. resource called "How to Make a Solar System Necklace." I also have my small Apollo moon globe which I can show them. However, I am still looking for other ideas. If you have any other suggestions for first graders, I am open to them. Thank you. Most Recent Response Contributed 12/09/98 by Jimmy Thomas MARSAstro@aol.com I may have an activity for you. It is called "moon on a stick." I'm not sure who first thought of it, but it has been used by Steve Gregorich at California State University at Sacramento. I plan to work up a M.A.R.S. activity sheet with all of the specifics. See what you think. Moon on a Stick Object: Learn about the phases of the moon.
