Date: May 1994 People have always been interested in space and the fascinating and mysterious factors that surround it. Our society and our everchanging modern technological world are proving just how important our solar system is to our future. Scientists are trying to find out what lies beyond the solar system. They are also interested in finding out how far space extends. With astronomy, there are so many areas to consider and so much of our universe to study. Grade level: The purpose of this science classroom activity package is to provide space and solar system activities for fifth and/or sixth grade students to aid in their awareness of space education.

Extractions: Do you want to incorporate astronomy into your science curriculum? Astronomy offers an inviting way into the world and culture of science. Use our new dynamic lesson plans to build engaging classroom lessons and activities using the many audio and video resources from StarDate Online. Color of Stars Students observe colors in the flame of a burning candle to explore connections between matter, light, color, and temperature basic concepts of matter and energy. They elaborate on these basic concepts in a new context of astronomy and stars. When matter gets hot enough, it emits visible light. When heated to the same temperature, light bulb filaments, horseshoes, and stars will emit the same characteristic blend of color (or wavelengths) of light. Stars are different colors white, blue, yellow, orange, and red. The color indicates the stars temperature in its photosphere, the layer where the star emits most of its visible light.
