Description
In this talk I shall present our experience with astronomy education in schools. With the help of various kits on light, pressure, magnetism, and Newton's Laws, we explained various principles in physics that students have studied in schools and extended it to astronomy, ranging from the working of telescopes to rocket launching and others. We have also been training students with material for Astronomy Olympiads and helping them prepare for the exam by clarifying concepts and derivations. I have also been writing in a monthly newsletter where astronomy concepts and news are explained and discussed. Students are free to contact me to answer questions. Lessons learned and resources developed by us will be presented. (http://www.shristriastro.com/)
