| Abstract: |
From 2001 to 2007, COSMOS provided a teaching and
outreach venue for the Center for Adaptive Optics Professional
Development Program (CfAO PDP). COSMOS is a four-week residential
mathematics and science summer program for high-school students
organized by the University of California on four of its
campuses. Two topical science courses comprised each COSMOS cluster.
An astronomy course has always formed a basis for the CfAO
PDP-affiliated cluster. The course included a variety of
pedagogical techniques to address a diversity of learners and
goals. We outline the astronomy course—lectures, activities,
etc.—and provide the rationale for what was taught, how it was
taught, and when it was taught. |
