Bukit Panjang Govt High bagged top team prize again! 7th Astronomy Competition @ NYP 20 February 2004 Bukit Panjang Government High School (BPGH) has once again emerged the top team of the 7th Astronomy Competition organised by Nanyang Polytechnic. In fact, BPGH has emerged champions a total of four times since the annual competition began eight years ago! Over 250 students from 24 secondary schools took part in the competition that was held on 20 February 2004. Participants were quizzed on 70 questions within 1 hour, on Astronomy which essentially included questions on Physics, Maths and the stars! The Best Astronomy Scorer Prize went to Soh Rong 'En, Sec 3 student of BPGH. ibuzz was amazed to learn that Rong 'En had only picked up Astronomy as a hobby just about a year ago! Cool! The secret of BPGH's success? Strong support from the teachers, senior students and alumni of the school's Astronomy Club. Alumni and seniors frequently coach the club members and the team is handpicked through a selection test! For all the hard work and enthusiasm put in by both teachers and students, it is no wonder BPGH has been shining so brightly! The participants were also very privileged to have Asst Prof Kwek Leong Chuan from NIE/NTU as guest speaker.

It's free! Save it. Many camps are in rural locations where stars are more readily seen than from towns and cities. Yet most camps don't include any form of astronomy in their camp programs because they only see it as a nighttime occupationand one that requires experts and equipment. Carey Park Christian Camp in New Zealand found a way to overcome this in a very innovative way. The camp introduced astronomy during the daytime. An Understanding of Astronomy Experience shows that campers come to camp with little or no understanding of astronomy and often confuse it with astrology. They probably haven't had any astronomy lessons at school and have commonly-held ideas to explain "what is happening in the sky." The following are two views or perspectives of "what happens in the sky"the apparent movement of the sun during the day.

Available through the National 4H website. Developed by Cornell University, this is a resource kit that provides youth the opportunity to explore and learn about the basics of astronomy. Written at an introductory level, ample information is provided so the leader does not need to be an expert in the field of astronomy. This encourages the leaders and members to learn about astronomy together. This kit could form the basis for initiating a 4H Astronomy Project. Supporting Materials The BEST Astronomy Activities Collection Star Quest Fundanas The company Imports Unlimited Company Inc makes a unique product called Star Quest Fundanas, which are a glow in the dark star map bandana designed to teach kids (7-adult) to read the night sky in a fun, different way.

74. Astrophysics At The University Of Cincinnati Our most recent Annual Report of the departments astronomy activities can be found at the following site Annual Reports of Astronomical Observatories and http://www.physics.uc.edu/~sitko/UCastro.html

AND ASTROPHYSICS Astrophysics is the scientific study of the structure and evolution of the universe, from the smallest scales measurable to the limits of detect-ability. It encompasses such diverse areas as the formation and evolution of stars and planetary systems, the chemical evolution of galaxies, and the deep connections between the quantum nature of matter and the large-scale structure of the cosmos. As such, it necessarily overlaps or interfaces with a very large variety of related fields. Among these are such areas as high energy physics (cosmic ray generation, stellar core neutrino production, gamma ray processes), condensed matter physics (the structure of collapsed stars such as white dwarfs and neutron stars, the formation of solid particles in stellar atmospheres and interstellar space), chemistry (gas-phase and surface reactions of atoms, ions, and molecules in stellar and interstellar environments, planetary atmospheres and surfaces), geology and geophysics (planetary surfaces and interiors), and even biology (the interaction of biological systems on planetary atmosphere development, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence - SETI). Astrophysics Research at UC Here at the University of Cincinnati, research in astrophysics can be broadly characterized as the investigation of young stellar systems and their environment, primarily at infrared wavelengths. Stars are born deeply embedded inside massive clouds of gas and dust. The dust not only dims the light from these stars, but the energy the dust absorb causes it to glow. Because the dust is much less efficient at obscuring the intrinsic light from such stars at infrared wavelengths than in the visible or ultraviolet, and because most of the dust-glow also occurs in the infrared, this spectral region is a prime window through which the formation and evolution of young stellar systems can be investigated.

(Photo Courtesy Honeywell Hometown Solutions) The astronomy outreach program pairs Lowell Observatory astronomers with American Indian students and their teachers. "Honeywell’s sponsorship of the Lowell Observatory Navajo-Hopi Educational Outreach Program supports science and math instruction on the Navajo and Hopi reservations in northern Arizona," said Pam Ross, Honeywell Aerospace Business Partnerships manager. "These creative programs are having a significant impact by encouraging students to pursue math/science-related careers through participation in hands-on science and astronomy activities." The response from teachers and students in Navajo and Hopi schools has been positive and has sparked students’ interest in astronomy as well as other science topics," said Deidre Hunter, Lowell astronomer and Amanda Bosh, Boston University astronomer stationed at the Flagstaff Observatory.
