Astrophysical phenomena occur in environments of the cosmos radically different from those on Earth.
However, laboratory work can provide important data on the behavior of matter under the temperatures, densities, radiation intensities, and other properties occurring elsewhere in the cosmos..
Constellation identification, understanding of right ascension and declination, and basic astronomical measurements of our moon, planets, stars, and universe.
Telescopic and naked eye observations will be assigned.
Develops awareness of the scientific method and how to apply it to specific problems and their solutions..
One-semester course.
This course will provide an in-depth exploration of astronomical thought from the observations of skywatchers to the development of modern astrophysics during the 20th and 21st centuries, repeating essential elements of the discoveries of history's most noted astronomers..
This introductory Astronomy course offers the student an opportunity to explore the basics of celestial bodies and phenomena, such as planets, moons, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and comets.
This course includes career exploration in Astronomy, in addition to presenting current day topics in this quickly changing field..
Laboratory exercises include observations of the sun, moon, and daytime astronomical activity.
Indoor exercises include analyzing stellar spectra, exploring the celestial sphere, and astronomical photographic analysis..

Astronomy is the study of everything in the universe beyond Earth's atmosphere.
That includes objects we can see with our naked eyes, like the Sun , the Moon , the planets, and the stars .
It also includes objects we can only see with telescopes or other instruments, like faraway galaxies and tiny particles..
Laboratory exercises include observations of the sun, moon, and daytime astronomical activity.

Students tend to be interested in Astronomy
Even if they aren’t always engaged with every lesson. I like to give them the opportunity to ask questions. Then
We structure a research activity based on their research. For this lesson on black holes
I asked students to write something they want to know about black holes.
(D) explain the contributions of modern astronomy to today's society, including the identification of potential asteroid/comet impact hazards and the Sun's effects on communication, navigation, and high-tech devices. Kepler activity on Kepler's laws of planetary motions (.pdf)
This collection of resources is designed to support the study of high school level astronomy. The collections that appear first support a specific topic within astronomy, such as the universe, galaxies and stars, Earth's motions, the solar system and the Earth's moon.
