Physics & Astronomy Lesson Plans - How To Use This Page

http://www.physics.rutgers.edu/hex_old/visit/lesson/lesson_how-to.html

Extractions: Experimental High Energy Physics Group The Experimental High Energy Physics Group at Rutgers University intends to provide science educators with a collection of links to physics and astronomy lesson plans from various educational web sites. Each link goes directly to the lesson plan you select. This hopefully reduces the time and effort you put into searching for lesson plans using search engines. Lesson plans are grouped by the grade level: Elementary School (K-6), Middle School (7-9), High School (10-12). More advanced lesson plans are listed under the heading "Advanced" (13-). The lesson plans with no specification of intended grade levels are listed under the heading "General." These groups are further divided into several subcategories by the topic. All the headings appear in the frame placed left so that you can easily find materials you need. Lesson plans intended for a wide range of grade levels (e.g. K-12) are listed in each grade level section. If you want high school materials, you only need to go to the High School section, for example. However, there are numerous lesson plans that may be suitable for your needs in the General section. Please be sure to check it if you do not find anything in the other sections. In fact, the General section is worth a look even when you find enough materials somewhere. Although these lesson plans are also sorted by the subject, it is strongly recommended that you take a look at more than one subcategories. These subject-oriented subcategories should narrow down your candidates but each lesson plan is listed only once in that grade level section. This may cause you a problem when a lesson plan deals with multiple subjects.
NASA/MSU-Bozeman CERES Project Educational Activities
Classroomready 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.

Extractions: Lesson 1 (one class period) Adapted from the following lesson plan: ftp://ftp.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/educator/distplan.txt I. General Objective: Describe, compare, and explain the motions of plants in the solar system (Objective 4). II. Lesson Objectives: Explain that the planets in our solar system vary in the following terms and concepts: orbit, revolution, spin, and gravity. Model the positions and relative distances between the sun and the nine planets in our solar system. III. Motivator: Conduct a poll to see which student can come closest to the approximate distance from the sun to Pluto. The winner will receive a prize after the demonstration activity. IV. Activities and Materials Needed: The materials needed for the demonstration activity are 10 construction paper models (one for the sun and nine for the planets), Internet access, and a handout of planet elliptical orbits. The activity needs sufficient space to cover 374 footprints and should take approximately 15 minutes.

http://www.eduref.org/Virtual/Lessons/Science/Astronomy/AST0032.html

Extractions: Research in Space Date: Grade(s): Subject(s): Outcomes: You will to the best of your ability: Know ways of measuring distances in space. Construct a model to illustrate varying distances of stars from Earth. Graph information to organize data about stars. Research in Space: During the first week, you made your own telescope. You can use it for your own personal exploration of space. Gallileo had only a simple telescope much like yours but he was able to make many discoveries. Astronomers today have much more complex and larger telescopes to explore space. Some have computers and cameras attached to aid in this study. In addition to optical telescopes, radio telescopes are also used. These telescopes collect radio waves from objects in space. Visible light can not be used to study the center of our galaxy since dense gases block out the light. Radio waves aren't blocked by the dust so radio telescopes are used in this exploration. A group of radio telescopes in New Mexico called the Very Large Array has been used. With this they have found that the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, is a strong source of radio waves. This energy source is so strong and small that some astronomers think it might be a black hole. A black hole is a region in space in which such a large amount of mass is concentrated that no energy or light can escape. Astronomers believe that black holes may form after a large star collapses. The pull of the gravity would be so great that nothing could escape it.

http://www.eduref.org/Virtual/Lessons/Science/Astronomy/AST0029.html

Extractions: Basic Astronomical Vocabulary Date: Grade(s): Subject(s): Outcomes: You will to the best of your ability: Define basic astronomical vocabulary. Describe two major types of telescopes. Build and use a telescope. Introduction: On a warm summer night as you have gazed at the sky, have you wondered about the twinkling stars and the bright moon? Like early man all of us are overcome by the wonders in the night sky. This interest has led many people to study the stars, planets, and other objects that make up the sky. This study is known as astronomy. A person who has made it her job to study the objects in the sky is known as an astronomer. But there are many other people who study astronomy as a hobby. To help you learn astronomy we will be doing some fun activities, including building a telescope and charting the phases of the moon. Vocabulary When you were beginning to read you learned words and how to pronounce and spell them. Soon you could put words together and read a sentence. Then you could read a paragraph; then a story; then a book. Your experience in studying astronomy is the same. First you must learn the vocabulary of astronomy. Then you need to study the workings of the solar system. Soon you will find that you have a basic understanding of astronomy. Let's begin with step one by learning the basic vocabulary of astronomy. Look up in a dictionary, encyclopedia or other book the definitions of the words found on pages 1 - 15 of your Student Astronomy Resource Book. Write their pronunciations and definitions in your Student Astronomy Resource Book. Draw a picture of the word you are defining.
