| Abstract: | The Deep Impact mission’s Education and Public Outreach (E/PO) program brings the principles of physics relating to the properties
of matter, motions and forces and transfer of energy to school-aged and public audiences. Materials and information on the
project web site convey the excitement of the mission, the principles of the process of scientific inquiry and science in
a personal and social perspective. Members of the E/PO team and project scientists and engineers, share their experiences
in public presentations and via interviews on the web. Programs and opportunities to observe the comet before, during and
after impact contribute scientific data to the mission and engage audiences in the mission, which is truly an experiment. |
