Astronomy

Welcome Bishop Watterson Astronomy students!  My name is Laura Manns and I will be supporting your learning this academic year during your scheduled class period and also will be providing labs, thereby enriching your learning experience and providing context for your study of astronomy. I am relatively new to the Columbus area, having relocated in August of 2020.  I have four children, with my eldest beginning graduate school in violin performance and my youngest commencing 4th grade. I love both science and children!  I earned my Bachelor's of Science from Xavier University, a Masters of Environmental Management from Duke University and am currently completing a Bachelor's Plus program for Integrated Science, grades 7-12 to include college physics through Ashland University.  I love to learn and am an active board member of the Ohio Wetlands Association.  My children and I enjoy visiting both state and national parks. This is an incredibly exciting time to be studying Astrono
