X-WR-CALDESC:Registration closes Sunday\, 2/9 at 11:59pm Pacific Time\n\nWo
 rkshop takes place Wednesday\, February 19\, 2025 3:30 - 5:00pm Pacific / 
 6:30 - 8pm Eastern.\n\nIn this 90-minute workshop classroom and informal e
 ducators will experience activities recreating the observations Galileo us
 ed to promote the heliocentric model of the solar system.\n\nWhen Copernic
 us set out a heliocentric model for the solar system\, there was scant evi
 dence in support of the idea. It took the observations of Tycho\, the calc
 ulations of Kepler\, and the observations and promotions of Galileo to sol
 idify scientific support for the notion the Sun\, not the Earth\, was the 
 center of the solar system. In this workshop\, educators from the Astronom
 ical Society of the Pacific will facilitate investigations to explore and 
 recreate two of the most important sets of observations in support of heli
 ocentrism. Participants will explore Galileo’s observations of the moons o
 f Jupiter\, and the phases of Venus through modeling the motion of both Ju
 piter’s moons and the planet Venus. Group discussions will include looking
  at the historical context and legacy of Galileo’s observations as keyston
 e events in the history of science\, and how they expanded our perceptions
  of the universe. Other potential topics include how to use Galileo’s obse
 rvations as vehicles to teach fundamental concepts in astronomy as well as
  basic scientific concepts and principles. The activities presented have i
 mmediate use in the classroom where students will engage in collaborative 
 and inquiry-based activities as they learn the process of science.\n\nRegi
 strants for the workshop will receive a toolkit with materials for use dur
 ing the live session.\n\nParticipants will gain the following through part
 icipation in the workshop:\n\n    An understanding of the historical conte
 xt for Galileo’s observations.\n    An understanding of\, and ability to m
 odel the key observations Galileo made which were essential in promoting t
 he eventual acceptance of the heliocentric model of the solar system.\n   
  Strategies we have found to successful at engaging learners of all ages\n
     Access to astronomy experts who will facilitate the workshop\n    A fr
 ee 6 month subscription to Mercury magazine online\n    A certificate of c
 ompletion for participating in two clock hours of professional development
 .\n\nRegistration: $75 all inclusive of materials and shipping to location
