Today we watched a video that demonstrates size comparisons of different stars. After a little discussion students were given time to explore topics for their research project. Towards the end of class, those who had decided gave their topics to me. I will not see the astronomy students until next Thursday due to MAP testing. I would like you all to have a topic by then, but don’t fret if you don’t.
