The Search for Life in the Universe with your Students! (no-cost)
Event Information
About this event
The exploration of Mars; the search for planets outside our Solar System; exploring extreme environments on Earth with life such as in ice, mines, volcanoes, acidic pools, and hydrothermal vents - all of this and more is investigated in the Search for Life in the Universe. Where did we come from? Are there other planets beyond Earth with life? Is there or has there been life elsewhere in our Solar System? These are some of the fascinating questions that the field of astrobiology seeks to understand. Students find astrobiology motivating, relevant, and exciting. Teachers like that it is interdisciplinary using skills and knowledge from all branches of science, math, and engineering and connects beautifully with art and writing. How can you learn more, get support, and find resources you need so you can bring this amazing content to your K-12 students? Join us at the AbSciCon (Astrobiology Science Conference) session for teachers being held virtually. This no-cost session is presented by astrobiologists, Aaron Gronstal and Graham Lau; a current middle/high school teacher, Dani Leach; and moderated by Martha Grover, an Origin of Life Professor at Georgia Tech. This session will give you the support and resources that you can use to create exciting opportunities for students. Grab a colleague or two and join us May 17th at 7-8 PM EDT.
