Abstract
Space Weather for Kids
American Geophysical Union, Washington, D.C., USA
This school year, students in Cheryl Williams's class of fourth through sixth graders may be able to look into the night sky and observe something that few American children have seen: the brightly lit, swirling colors of aurorae. “Some of my students can look from their porches at night and see the colors dance,” said Williams, who teaches at the Youth Education and Support Service (YESS) elementary school in Fairbanks, Alaska. “They come in the next morning, and they ask questions. Knowing that, I've planned activities to try and get them answers while still meeting our educational standards.”
