Fine tuning visits to the planetarium: insider hints-

  1. Write down student questions on 3x5 cards, or something like that. This way, I can answer student questions anonymously for those who are reluctant otherwise.

  • Weather: here is a link for our own clear sky clock. See whether it'll be clear or cloudy here in SE NC.
