New York K-6 International Year of Astronomy Contest
A FUN WAY TO ENGAGE YOUR STUDENTS IN ASTRONOMY TO CELEBRATE THE 2009 INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF ASTRONOMY!
Do you know what happened 400 years ago that we are celebrating? Galileo first turned a telescope to the skies and our knowledge about the Universe and the practice of science have never been the same. Johannes Kepler also did some very important work on his laws of planetary motion that same year - 1609.
So celebrate with us by having your students enter the New York K-6 International Year of Astronomy Contest!
