Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
I did an outreach program to the 2nd graders from E.B. Ellington Elementary School in Ravenel, SC today. It was a class of 15 very, very knowledgeable wannabe astronomers. We mostly covered the Solar System but a couple questions came up concerning astrophysics and exoplanets which put me out on thin ice. Luckily, I was saved by the recess bell. The traveling Solar System model is a wonderful tool for elementary students. I also trotted out my dollar bill across the room to demonstrate using a telescope. A trick I picked up from Al Nagler, simple and effective.
