Astronomy in April

Astronomy in April and Drops on a Penny Video

Join me tomorrow at noon as I work with UK Astronomy as part of Astronomy in April. 

Grab your Oreos and join us for a talk about the phases of the Moon using Oreos.

You can click here to join the event at Noon, BST on April 8th, 2021!

What you will need:
• 8 Oreo cookies per person
• A white paper plate or plain sheet of paper per person
• A spoon per person
You will also need to print out the NASA Moon phase journal found here https://www.ukastronomy.org/guides_activities.shtml
So that you are ready to also record your daily observations. Remember, you can record your observations even if it is cloudy. I will explain all in my talk.

If you miss the live talk, you will be able to find the replay on the U.K. Astronomy YouTube channel. 

Drops on a Penny Video

The latest Mrs Wilson Science video is here. This time, we look at a simple experiment that is great for investigating changes to the independent variable as well as observing some of the special properties of water like adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension.

I hope you enjoy it. Don’t forget to subscribe and share!

Last week we had our half term break, and I was able to work on really launching my YouTube channel. I updated the theme (and then matched it here on the blog), but the most exciting thing is of course new content. I have several videos that went live last week. A couple of them are easy science experiments, and there are several on using Teams from a student perspective. 

I’ve been on a big push this past weekend to reach 100 subscribers. I’ve made it to 79 so far, and I’m just looking for 21 more people to subscribe to the channel. I would be so happy if you decided to subscribe and overjoyed if you passed on info about the channel to your friends. I would say may target audience are teachers and parents supporting their children. There will be lots of science experiments and explanations and tech videos as well – focused both on Microsoft how-tos and pedagogy. 

Here’s a taste of what you can find on the channel. I hope to see you there!
