COMUSPRINT HOME COMUS MUSIC ASTRONOMY Astronomy Activities 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.

Contact Us Good Astronomy Activities on the World Wide Web printer-friendly version 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.

10. 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

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. Three Types of Classroom-Ready Lessons are Available On-line: STUDENT INQUIRIES / EXTENSION LESSONS 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. SPACEQUESTS QuestForm Template APPLICATIONS IN ASTROBIOLOGY 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.

This simple project requires just a few basic supplies, but may be better done outside. zSB(3,3) Build an Edible Space Shuttle You can learn about the Space Shuttle and its parts by making a snack. Assemble and eat these parts of the Space Shuttle: The External Tank holds fuel. The Solid Rocket Boosters push the Shuttle into the air. The Orbiter is where the astronauts sit. It also holds everything that is going into space. Make a Cassini Spacecraft That's Good Enough to Eat Here's another tasty activity. The real Cassini spacecraft has now arrived at Saturn, but you can build a replica that's mighty sweet. Constellation in a Canister 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.

Our activities are organised into three strands. Each strand takes you step-by-step through a different aspect of hands-on astronomy. Strand 1 is an introduction to stargazing. It starts with our downloadable Star Wheel and goes on to provide a very simple yet comprehensive introduction to observational astronomy. Strands 2 and 3 are still in preparation. Publication dates are uncertain - the completion of these strands is being funded by subscriptions. What makes our activities special? Strand One Stargazing for Beginners Overview of this strand Landmarks The Stars as a Compass Make a Star Wheel ... The Shifting Stars Binocular Bonanza Jewels of the Sky Roller Coaster Stars Supporting Resources Star Story Book Strand Two Daytime Astronomy Measuring the Sun The Rolling Sun Sundial City Binocular Bonanza - Zits on the Sun Moon Mornings Strand Three Solar System Simulations There are plenty of astronomy activities you can do at home or in the classroom, but travelling to other planets is not one of them. We have devised some activities that let you create astronomical models from everyday materials. Eat the Solar System Balloon Globe Collisions in the Kitchen - make a comet, a crater, a Lunar lava lake, and a volcano. Exciting cookery that explodes, splashes, hisses and pops while teaching about the solar system
