Julie Bolduc-Duval (Discover the Universe)
Astronomy is all about observing the sky, but teachers rarely do it with their students. There exist many activities to explore the sky during the day and at night, from a rural area as well as from a city. We will present many ideas which we brought into an educational module named Looking Up! available in English and French. The activities can be adapted to many grade levels and require very simple materials. We strongly believe that discovering the sky allows students to connect with their environment and learn about a lot more than just astronomy.
