Hi all,
I've been 'commisioned' to bring a scope or two to show & tell a little about the sky at my daugther's preschool & my wife's school where she teaches, also the little'ies,
.
My challenge is that I've never delt with such young people & I'm wondering if anyone might have ideas on how I can approach them with this topic. I'll also be asking the Missus, she is the expert with them, but the technicalities of Astronomy isn't her strong point, bless her soul.
At the moment, the timeing of these sessions will be during the morning or arvo, limiting viewings to the moon & sun. I'd only be doing eyepiece projection for the sun, & covering up the finder, and warn of looking at the sun by any means. Good idea or not, the sun?
Any astro reasources anyone may be able to suggest to illustrate the solar system & beyond? I've also been asked to give a little talk.
Mental.
