Two Astronomy Classroom Activities

http://www.msu.edu/user/pon/slides.html

Extractions: Mars Loop in Gemini 1992-93, The Three-Planet Gathering of June 1991, Write me for more details on how to order. How about a couple of nice astronomy units? Jenny Pon then at Abrams Planetarium has prepared two excellent hands-on classroom activities for your consideration. Both encourage critical thinking and collaborative learning as students examine motions of celestial objects. They are about as close to an actual observation experience as possible in a typical classroom enviroment. Mars Loop in Gemini 1992-93 is my favorite. Jenny photographed the retrograde loop of Mars as it moved through the Gemini constellation between September 1992 and May 1993. Using a 35mm slide projector, students can project these images on a white surface (large sheet of white paper or a white marker board) to record the positions of Mars and several reference stars. Working out Mars' track by connecting consecutive positions of the planet produces a classic retrograde loop. By allowing student teams to map Mars' trip through the reference stars with little or no prior explanation of what to expect, a real problem is generated. After the map of Mars' trace is complete, ask groups to form an explanation for their results. When all teams have reached a hypothesis, in writing, I would ask each group's spokeperson to present it to the entire class.

Feel free to borrow and update/customize activities, but please put a copy of the improved version back in this area. This temporary location will be moved to the ISP205 course section when George Perkins sets it up to survive the semester change. To be effective, Use activities regularly so they don't fall into the habit of thinking you always do all the work in lecture. Teach them how to work together in cooperative groups; don't assume they know how to do that although it's becoming very common in HS. At least assign them roles. Use the group time as an opportunity to get to personally explain something to them, NOT as a chance to think about the next piece of lecture! Explicitly tie student assessment into the activities done in class; why should they think the topics are important if you don't?

http://www.arctictravel.com/chapters/astronpage.html

Extractions: Astronomy b y John MacDonald To those who care to look up, the skies above the Arctic offer unique rewards. Summer's midnight sun aside, the full wonder of the arctic sky is best seen during the dark months of winter when the dominant moon brilliantly illuminates the snow-clad landscape and the stars and planets glimmer eerily through animated curtains of lilac-colored northern lights. For winter travellers to Nunavut, the arctic sky could well be the highlight of their visit. If you are familiar with southern skies, you will notice immediately that the stars and constellations, particularly above northern Nunavut, appear in unfamiliar positions. Orion will be lower, the Big Dipper unexpectedly higher, and Sirius, if it appears, will be seen only briefly, progressing slowly along the southern horizon, emitting its brilliant display of prismatic colors rarely seen in more southerly latitudes. A quest of many winter visitors to the Arctic is the unforgettable sight of the aurora borealis, the northern lights. These are caused by the glow of molecular gases in the atmosphere, activated by charged particles from the sun. The aurora normally occurs in a broad 500- to 1,000-kilometre-wide belt known as the "auroral oval," which is centred on the North Magnetic Pole. Rarely as colorful as auroral displays occurring along the 60th parallel, the northern lights seen across Nunavut are no less awe-inspiring infused with their subtle, shifting greenish hues. According to Inuit tradition, whistling at the northern lights makes them come nearer. Beware!
