		Final Day - Student Presentations and Celebration

		Student Presentations Workshop students and instructors were divided into teams on the first day of the workshop. Each team worked on a presentation that involved current cosmology topics and presented them to the group on the final day. Some videos are in post production Video Team Galileo - Galileo Feud Students created a game show based on 'Family Feud' where contestants answered questions about current research in cosmology. PDF of Powerpoint Presentation Team Smoot - Cosmology Jeopardy Students created a cosmology Jeopardy game based on the career and discoveries of Nobelist George Smoot. PDF of Powerpoint Presentation Video Team Arecibo - Arecibo Telescope The Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico was discussed in this student presentation. Arecibo carries out three major areas of research: radio astronomy, aeronomy, and radar astronomy observations of solar system objects. PDF of Powerpoint Presentation Video Team Spitzer - The Spitzer Telescope The Spitzer Space Telescope was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida in August 2003. During its mission, Spitzer will obtain images and spectra by detecting the infrared energy, or heat, radiated by objects in space between wavelengths of 3 and 180 microns. Most of this infrared radiation is blocked by the Earth's atmosphere and cannot be observed from the ground. PDF of Powerpoint Presentation Video Team Einstein - General Relativity General relativity is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915. It is the current description of gravitation in modern physics. It unifies special relativity and Newton's law of universal gravitation, and describes gravity as a geometric property of space and time, or spacetime. PDF of Powerpoint Presentation Video
