 1. SOLAR WEEK 2003 - A SIZZLING TIP FOR NOVEMBER 17-21, 2003

------------------------------------------------------------

 

The Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum (SECEF) welcomes all students

and teachers wishing to participate in Solar Week, November 17-21, 2003.

A week-long series of web-based educational activities and games

will be centered on understanding our nearest star: the Sun. The

site is primarily designed to spark the interest of pre- and early

teen girls in science by direct interaction with female scientists

at the forefront of solar research. All participants, male or female,

are welcome!

 

Participants will interact with leading experts as they learn

about solar flares, the solar cycle, solar eclipses and solar

observations. They will see the latest images of the Sun from

space, build their own sundial, make their own filter wheel,

and measure the speed of a solar storm as it hurtles towards

the Earth. Register at www.solarweek.org

An integral element of the Office of Space Science (OSS)

education and public outreach strategy is the establishment of

a network for space science to foster a wide variety of edu-

cation and public outreach activities. This network of

institutions include (1) four Education Forums that serve as

major centers for space science education and public outreach

in each of the four OSS Themes, and (2) a set of regional

Broker/Facilitators who, for example, help arrange collab-

orations between scientists and the education community.

The Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum (SECEF) is a partner-

ship led by Goddard Space Flight Center and UC Berkeley’s

Space Sciences Laboratory. To learn more about SECEF and the

Office of Space Science Education and Public Outreach program,
