Guest lecture at the Storkschool in Dwingeloo

| Description: | On January the 17th, Annemieke gave a guest lecture to 4-5 year old school children at the Storkschool in Dwingeloo. The lecture was an initiative of VHTO (Vrouwen Hoger Technisch Onderwijs) to promote natural sciences to children and to provide role models to young girls. We first did some experiments with a light bulb (the Sun) and an apple (the Earth), to find out why we have day and night, and where the Sun goes during the night. After that, we compared the outfit of an astronaut to that of a skier: both wear helmets, sunglasses, gloves and warm clothes, but the astronaut additionally needs a supply of air to be able to breathe. There were certainly some children interested in travelling to the Moon: about half the class would like to walk on the Moon. Some, however, don't want to because they think it too dangerous.... |
