  • Astronomy Before the Telescope Observing Certificate
    Astronomy Before the Telescope Observing Certificate Astronomy Before the Telescope Observing Certificate Coordinator: Steve Boerner 2017 Lake Clay Drive Chesterfield, MO 63017 (636) 537-2495 E-mail: [email protected] Introduction In a 2006 article in the Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Robert A. Egler aptly stated: "In modern astronomy, it is astrophysics that dominates, with its emphasis on analyzing celestial objects for what they are, how they work, what they are made of, and how they evolve. The pre-telescope instruments were all designed to find the position of celestial object in relation to the great celestial sphere and each other, and to determine their motions. In short, these instruments are not for analyzing the heavens, but rather for measuring the heavens." The early instruments were invented to answer important questions like when it would be time to plant crops for best success, when migrating herds might return, when seasonal flooding might occur, when religious days were to be held, what direction to go to get to a specific place, or where things in the sky were likely to appear. The instruments helped develop systems to measure both yearly cycles (calendar) and daily time (clock) as well as determine directions (compass). The ancient people who developed these instruments relied on what they could observe on the ground and in the sky with the Sun, the moon, and bright stars to point the way. The purpose of the Astronomy Before the Telescope Observing Certificate is to provide an opportunity for you to examine some of the early instruments that provide information for both our daily lives and our astronomical observing.

  • Google Calendar - Parent Directions
    Google Calendar - Parent Directions In order to make things more organized and easier to manage, here is a guide explaining how Google Calendar works along with some tips and tricks that will help you to keep student assignments and schedules organized. Google Calendar can be a centralized place to keep all of your events and assignments organized - and you can share Calendars between Google accounts, so you can help to keep your child on task! How to access Google Calendar: 1. When you are signed in to your Google Account, look at the top right of the screen and select the navigation “waffle”/9 square. This is where your Google Apps are located. Select Calendar. Viewing events others (teachers, for example) have shared with you: 1. In the Calendar screen, you have various options for how to view your calendar. In the top right you can change how many days you see, from seeing one day at a time, to seeing an entire year at once. The more days you are looking at, the less specific events you will see. You can scroll through days toward the top left, and you can toggle your different calendars on and off on the bottom left to limit which events you are looking at. This is handy if you only want to see one class’s schedule, or if you set an assignment schedule. 2. On your calendar you will only see a shortened version of the events for the day. Click on the event to find out more details, such as where an event is located, who is invited, and if it is a 3.
