Understand How The Classes Of The Free Courses In Astronomy And Astrophysics Will Be Taught

The astronomy and astrophysics courses will be transmitted only to those selected through Webex Meetings, a digital platform, in a private virtual environment.

Students of the E-learning astronomy and astrophysics courses can present all their teaching experiences in roundtable discussions, an extra activity of the course. The course load is 25.5 hours, which will include, in addition to classes, activities such as roundtables, presentations, and lectures.

The courses have been organized by the astrophysics division of Inpe since 1998, and since then, about 1,200 students have gone through the courses, including university students and formal education teachers from various regions of Brazil.

Words From The Master In Astronomy From USP

In addition to discussing everyday astronomy, the free E-learning courses also cover the solar system, galaxies, stars, astrobiology, cosmology, high-energy astrophysics, and gravitational waves, says André de Castro Milone, Master in Astronomy from the University of São Paulo (USP).

The initial topics are directly linked to the National Common Curricular Base for High School (BNCC, MEC 2018) and have also been included in the contents of elementary education.

He states that everyday astronomy involves topics such as days and nights, solar calendar, seasons of the year, phases of the moon, ocean tides, lunar and solar eclipses.
