Morehead Planetarium and Science Center is pleased to announce its new, astronomy-themed professional development workshop for K-3 teachers as part of its recently launched PLANETS program. The PLANETS (Portable Learning for All of North Carolina's Elementary Teachers and Students) program travels across the state with North Carolina's first full dome video portable planetarium to bring rich space science education to students grades K-6.

The PLANETS K-3 teacher workshop has as its centerpiece, North Carolina's first portable full-dome digital planetarium, an inspiring learning environment in which teachers can increase and reinforce their own potential and enthusiasm for teaching space science. PLANETS workshops will empower participating teachers with increased astronomy content knowledge and unique NASA-themed teaching tools and will demonstrate effective ways to link STEM content to other important areas of the elementary curriculum, notably language arts and social studies. Teachers participating in PLANETS workshops will be provided with a resource kit that will enable them to conduct astronomy-related activities in their classrooms and 1 CEU.

The workshop will take place on Saturday, February 13, 2010, from 9am-3pm at Winston-Salem State University’s Center for Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education in Winston-Salem, NC . Registration will be limited to 25 teachers with a $25 registration fee.
