About Julia Plummer
Julia Plummer spent over a decade teaching children and adults in planetariums and other informal settings and continues teaching college-level introductory astronomy and science methods for preservice elementary teachers.
Her research interests focus on the design of learning environments that support children's spatial thinking and science practices in the domain of astronomy. This includes investigating both formal environments, such as classrooms, and informal environments, such as planetariums and museums. Her research has led to the development of astronomy learning progressions focused on explaining celestial motion phenomena and connecting observations of the current Solar System to its formation model.
