Extractions: I think I could best be described as an armchair astronomer who has accidentally acquired a certain amount of hardware, although I did enjoy making my first 6" mirror. Skinflint is also a fair description, as is shown by this picture of the 6" Dobsonian assembly More recently, I acquired a 12" f4 blank which had reached the figuring stage before someone dropped it and took a big chip out of the back. Figuring and testing this filled in several happy hours, and it then went into a skeleton frame after aluminising. Attempting some webcam photography indicated a rethink of some aspects, like the motor drive ratios on the alt-az mounting, the rigidity of the finder, and the fact that with the tiny field of view in a Philips TouCam, one really needed some sort of equatorial drive, since the images were crossing the field too fast for comfort. Since the drive had to be reasonably portable, I decided on an equatorial table. Chunks of an old wardrobe were pressed into service, along with odd bits of wood and contiboard, some 8mm screwed rod, and a 240v synchronous motor bought originally for the 6" when it did possess an equatorial mount. The baseboard of the Dobsonian mount simply sits on the table framework. For visual work, the improvement in comfort is wonderful, and webcam work with short exposures is perfectly feasible. Note the meccano gears - nearly 100 years old. I then proceeded to re-invent the original sidewalk telescope and got a four foot long cardboard concrete-form tube from a firm who were sufficiently intrigued to let me have less than a lorry-load. This is now assembled and painted and ready for when the skies clear and the weather gets warmer.

http://www.astrosociety.org/education/activities/astroacts.html

Extractions: This resource list includes a small selection of especially effective astronomy activities designed for K-12 classes and science projects. We focus on those activities that are either hands-on, or at least encourage students to think for themselves, and not merely follow a cookbook recipe or fill in a few blanks. Each listing has a brief summary and comments; note that these comments are the opinion of the list's compiler and are not the "official policy" of Project ASTRO or the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Another person in astronomy education may have selected a different list of activities and may have had different things to say about them. Additions or suggestions for future editions of this list are most welcome. The Web is now a huge, and mostly unorganized, repository of information, and we make no claim that our list is complete. Instead, we simply hope that it can introduce you to the wide range of organizations and institutions that are working to put astronomy activities on the web, and to give you leads for activities that contain reasonable astronomy and emphasize hands-on, inquiry-based learning.

NASA/MSU-Bozeman CERES Project Educational Activities
Classroom-ready astronomy activities and lessons for levels K-12. Created by a team of master teachers, university faculty, and NASA researchers.
http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/EdActivities.html

Extractions: A team of master teachers, university faculty, and NASA researchers have created a series of web-based astronomy and astrobiology lessons for the CERES Project. These classroom-ready activities for K-12 students represent a robust combination of contemporary teaching/learning strategies from the National Science Education Standards (NRC, 1996), exciting and current NASA science data, and Internet pointers to an endless supply of accurate and timely resources. Students explore NASA data to construct first-hand knowledge about the astronomical universe. These internet-based lessons require 1 to 4 class hours and are tied explicitly to the NRC National Science Education Standards astronomy objectives. They can be used as an introduction to astronomy topics, as an intermediate activity, or as an extension activity that requires active participation by students. Students explore interdisciplinary science topics within the context of astrobiology to construct first-hand knowledge about the origin, distribution, and future of life on Earth and beyond. These internet-based lessons require 1 to 4 class hours and are closely tied to the NRC National Science Education Standards and the Principles and Standards for Mathematics. These lessons can be used as stand alone activities or as supplemental materials for standard math and science courses. Many of these activities are suitable for both middle and high school students, even though they may be cited as being appropriate for one group or another.

Assemble and eat these parts of the Space Shuttle: Here's another tasty activity. The real Cassini spacecraft has now arrived at Saturn, but you can build a replica that's mighty sweet. Want to learn more about the night sky? Start with this simple activity. People have looked at the stars for many, many years. They could imagine pictures in stars. Those pictures are called constellations. After you do this activity, see if you can find the constellations in the night sky.
