The following reports were written by members of Astronomy and Astrophysics during the second day of the program. Some elements may have been removed/edited for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.

i liked todays class. liked doing the water activitie. i didnt like that i lost my work on exel
today was more fun. Using the simbad site was a fun activity along with galaxsee. the program the modeled space and the stars was cool when I saw it, but I would have liked to experiment with it some instead of just watching.

I really liked the lesson on distance. I also thought that making The Big Dipper 3-d was really fun and interesting. I learned so much today, and I am looking forward to tomorrow!

I liked todays activity. I didnt like the outside activity. We almost got it right if a teacher gave us a protrator. Overall I lked the class better now

Today was really cool. It was soo much better than yesterday because there were a whole lot more activities. I especially liked the outdoor activity but the plotting on the galaxysee activity kept getting screwed up.

Today we tried to fogure out the distance was from a flag pole to a line that we were standing behind. If you got closest to the right measure you would get a candy bar. we got second place. Then when we came back inside we made our own big dipper. I had fun today.
zack
today we did an experiment outdoors involving Geometry and measuring distance. we also worked on the 3D modeling software and plotted some stars.

Comments: Today was a good day. I learned alot about how to measure an objects distance using parallax. I also learned about constellations and the zodiac. It was very hot outside when we did our activity.
