Nebulae
Lesson Outline
Bobby expressed a keen interest in 'stellar nebulae', and so we talked about the two main types of nebulae (star-forming and planetary). We printed two images of nebulae that particularly caught Bobby's eye, and he very much wanted to tape them to the wall. He then remembered that back in first grade, he had worked on a project that showed the evolution of a sun-like star and he eagerly dug it out from his pile of papers to show me! It was a great project, and I look forward to working on similar projects with Bobby in the schoolyear to come.

Lesson Comments
It was a fun class today – We started watching a video that I quickly realized was rather yawn-inducing for poor Bobby: It is narrated in a thick English accent, and is initially set in the museum at the Greenwich Royal Observatory (it gets exciting later on, but maybe for an older student). Not exactly riveting! But as soon Bobby asked his first question on nebulae, I started to get into the groove. I think I'm beginning to get this.
