The materials presented in this workshop have been developed by the
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/) and used by teachers across the globe.
Participants will engage in activities designed to help students understand
the effect of mass on orbits, gravitational lensing, and general concepts of
dark matter. Some simple demos will be made by the participants to take back
to their classes. Leaders of the workshop are PTRAs that have been trained
by the Perimeter Institute.
