Astrobiology in Secondary Classrooms (ASC):
A Changing World in a Changing Universe
A new interdisciplinary astrochemistry curriculum is currently being developed as part of the education and public outreach program of the NASA Goddard Center for Astrobiology (GCA). Join us for a week in June at TSU to learn about this new curriculum from scientists at the NASA Center for Astrobiology, faculty members from TSU, presenters from other partner universities, and master teachers who have worked on the curriculum. Teachers who attend the summer professional development will be expected to field-test some or all of the activities in the new curriculum and provide feedback to the NASA staff for improving the activities.
The goal of the workshop is to provide secondary teachers with the content and skills to integrate astrochemistry, chemistry, biology, astronomy, earth and space science in an interdisciplinary approach into their science courses through the topic of astrobiology.

- June 19-23, 2006
- For teachers of all areas of science in the 7th to 12th grade
