Project STARWALK is an Earth/space science program, developed for elementary students in grades 3 and 5 or 4 and 6. The program is designed around the teaching of some basic earth science concepts (Earth’s rotation, revolution, and axial tilt), and their consequences. Classroom lessons are designed to both prepare and follow-up student visits to a planetarium facility. The planetarium is used as an instrument to display models to help the students understand the concepts. There are three visits to the planetarium (fall, winter, and spring).The role of the teacher is to prepare the students for a laboratory experience at the planetarium. This is done by way of the materials provided, and whatever other strategies the teacher deems necessary. There are a variety of activities designed for both pre- and post-reinforcement of the concepts.

AbstractAstronomy has played a major part in the development of civilisations, not only through conceptual developments, but most importantly through the very practical gains obtained through the observation of Sun, Moon planets and stars. Space sciences, including astronomy, have also played a major rôle in the development of modern societies, as an engine for most subsequent space technology developments. Present trends tend to decrease the rôle of science in space development. This trend should be reversed to give modern “societies” their independence in space-related matters that permeate the lives of all inhabitants of the Earth.

Group Members

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.

Sense Of Obligation

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.
