Solar Week, a week of online lessons, games and hands-on activities about the Sun for grades 5-9 or ages 9-14, happens twice a year, approximately mid-to-late March and mid-to-late October. [Daily Facts, Games and Activities are available all year; "Ask a Question" has archived answers only -- until LIVE during Solar Week. Please post a question to our leading solar scientists during that week.] Fall 2018 Solar Week takes place October 22-26th.
During Solar Week, your group or class can post a question for our solar scientists to answer!
The way to post a question is to go to the MESSAGE BOARD and then click on the area in which you are interested, for example, "Facts About the Sun" or "Being or Becoming a Scientist" and then you will see a button that says "Write a New Post." You will be Anonymous unless you choose to give your name or affiliation.
You may want to Meet the Scientists who will be answering your questions.
