College of Natural Sciences Teaches Astronomy to Local Schools
The College of Natural Sciences at California State University, Chico is sponsoring a classroom outreach program for grades 3-12 in Northeastern California schools.
The program will feature presentations on astronomy and science, given by geosciences professor Jim Regas or a geoscience intern, in the Roth Planetarium on the CSU, Chico campus.
Regas said the presentations will be coordinated with the astronomy curriculum and science standards teachers are currently using in their classroom and adjustments will be made to fit the grade level.
The Roth Planetarium will accommodate between 24 and 30 students, and presentations will last between 30 and 50 minutes depending on the age of the group.
For reservations, teachers are encouraged to call Department of Geosciences secretary Cathy Brooks at 530-898-5262. For more information, call Regas at 530-898-6269.
