SKA resources for teachers
Though ANZSKA teacher resources have been produced for the New Zealand curriculum, some activities may be easily adapted to suit the curriculum delivered in West Australian classrooms.
Each resource, varying from 16 to 20 plus pages, contains teacher guides as well as student activities.
The telescope is named the “Square Kilometre Array” because it is planned to have a collecting area of one square kilometre.
The fully operational telescope will consist of thousands of individual antennas spread over 100 array stations at various locations across the chosen host country. Worth an estimated AU $1.8 billion dollars it will be able to probe key questions in cosmology and physics, even able to look at the early origins of the universe.
As announced at the end of September 2006, Western Australia and South Africa are the two finalists being considered to host the SKA. The final decision for the SKA's location will be made towards the end of the decade and construction is expected to begin 2013.
