SCIENCE

    Outside of music and the arts, Ron's primary interests include astronomy, physics, and the other sciences. He spent two years of college as an astrophysics major, and continues to keep up with current research through books, magazines, and online resources. For more about Ron's work in science education, visit the all-new ronmscience.com.

SCIENCE DISCOVERY SHOW
    Ron has a science show called "Unexpected Science" he presents regularly for schools, camps, libraries, and children's groups. The show is designed for kids ages 8-12 but can be easily adapted for older or younger students. Topics covered include physics, chemistry, electromagnetism, and more. See below for a sample experiment.

RON'S TELESCOPES
    Ron has built two telescopes on his own and assisted several others in telescope projects as well. Ron's telescopes are a 6" f/5.8 Newtonian and an 8" f/6.6 Newtonian, both on modified split-ring equatorial mounts. Ron ground the mirror for the 8" himself.
