I have an 11 year old granddaughter who wants to study astrophysics. She probably has the ability to do so, but will need guidance beyond a “nice,” lock-step school program. She has read a Stephen Hawking’s popular press book, etc. Any suggestions about online programs or perhaps a school that would consider guiding her learning? Yes, she’s been fluent with a Tablet PC for over a year.
There is a great book called “A quest for the theory of Everything” By Kitty Fergusen. Staphen Hawking tries to use less words, which it a little difficult to understand what he says. Kitty Fergusen Explains all of hawking’s theories in a relatively simple way.
Thanks for the tip. And best wishes in your studies of astronomy. I went to your blog, MyCyberHome. You offer many interesting ideas for educators. Others may appreciate them also. Let us know of your progress.
