Edgardo Quintana (Colegio San Francisco Javier)
If somebody asks me "What Everyone Should Know About Astronomy Education", it would be concepts like "where are we?" and "how do we move?". I think that this information and associated activities and methods, give us a perspective about who we are.
The talk shows the movements of the Earth in the southern hemisphere, the path of the Sun during the day, the connection with the southern celestial pole, and the different experiences with activities that complement this journey.
