Eligibility for S'COOL Project
Any primary or secondary school teacher and his or her class is
eligible to participate in S'COOL. We suggest students be at least
nine to ten years old, but younger students are welcome if the teacher feels
it is appropriate. Teachers are invited to participate as it best fits
with the curriculum they are teaching in the classroom. Occasionally
Intensive Observing Periods (IOP) will still be announced, during which we
would like to receive the most observations possible to contribute to
validation of the CERES instrument data. The S'COOL letter of invitation
provides details on how to register with the project. Find out How to Participate.
Absolute requirements are: a teacher, some students, a place to observe the sky,
and a convenient satellite overpass. We also suggest a few other items.
For those who cannot observe at the specific satellite overpass times, or
who may wish to have more than one class participate, we invite you to set
up a schedule of diurnal schedule observations. If you wish to be added,
send us your schedule.
