Jupiter Crazy Bright

Event

Jupiter will be at opposition -- its nearest point to Earth this year, making it exceptionally bright and visible throughout the entire night. This event offers the optimal opportunity to observe and photograph Jupiter, along with its moons. With a medium-sized telescope, you can view details in Jupiter's cloud bands. Using a good pair of binoculars, you should be able to spot the four largest moons of Jupiter, known as the Galilean moons (discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610), appearing as distinct bright spots on either side of the planet. Beyond these, astronomers have discovered 76 more Jovain moons since Galileo's time. Fun fact: Jupiter emits more heat than it receives from the Sun! Jupiter generates its own heat as a result of perpetually (and slowly) shrinking and compressing, converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy.

PARTNER EVENT: 4-Day OpenSciEd Curriculum Launch

Event

This 4-Day OpenSciEd Middle School Curriculum Launch will prepare middle and high school science teachers to launch the curriculum with confidence. Participants will engage in lessons as learners, reflect on instructional practices, and explore unit design, assessments, and supports. Participants will explore a grade-level unit that directly connects to their own classroom. By the end of the launch, teachers will be ready to create classrooms where all students engage in meaningful, phenomenon-driven science learning.

PARTNER EVENT: Assessment in OpenSciEd

4:30pm

Event

Join New England Basecamp, as we walk you through OpenSciEd's assessment system and help figure out how you can make it work BETTER for you and your students. We will provide you with specific, grade and unit-based grade-planning tools to help you map out when to assess, how to assess, what types of assessments to choose from, and how to align these assessments to your school's grading policy and gradebook. Additionally, we will give you tried and true tips with real-world teacher visuals from teachers who have been using OpenSciEd for years. This event is best for teachers in grades 5-12. This event is free for Rhode Island educators and $50 for all non-Rhode Island participants.
