Physics in Astronomy Context Monthly Workshop Series

Join NASA's partner, the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), for their monthly virtual workshop series, Physics in Astronomy Context. Each sessions provides professional development on implementing an AAPT "Digi Kit." A "Digi Kit" is a web-based interactive lab that blends physics, geometry, and astronomy as students build and use physical models to explore phenomena. Digi Kit resources include a core lesson plan, videos, simulations, tutorials, and readings.

Heliophysics Big Year Math Webinars

The Heliophysics Big Year (HBY) is a global celebration of the Sun's influence on Earth and the entire solar system. It began with the Annular Solar Eclipse on Oct. 14, 2023, continued through the Total Solar Eclipse on Apr. 8, 2024, and will conclude with Parker Solar Probe’s closest approach to the Sun in December 2024.
Challenged by the NASA Heliophysics Division to participate in as many Sun-related activities as possible, NASA HEAT has been hosting a monthly webinar for formal and informal educators, science communicators, and other heliophysics enthusiasts to promote the understanding of heliophysics in alignment with monthly HBY themes.
