Forums 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.

9. 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

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.

Astronomy Activities at "Amtsgymnasiet in Sønderborg For ten years astronomy has been a key activity at "Amtsgymnasiet i Sønderborg". It started as an after-school-activity for specially interested students, but since 1994 it has been a subject in its own right - one school year comprising 4 lessons a week for students who choose that particular subject. Since the summer of 1994 we have had the opportunity of performing school based observations, because a grant from the Danish "Velux"-foundation then made it possible to acquire a powerful user retrained 16'' Meade SCT - telescope. Equipped with an electronic AP6 CCD-camera donated by a.o. Mads Clausens Foundation this telescope has given us the opportunity of shooting pictures in a quality that we could until then only dream of. This work is done in close cooperation with neighboring "EUC-Syd" technical School EUC Syd. Please feel free sending your comments directly to our students.. 20 projects have been awarded within National and International Young Scientist Competitions. Student Comet Images have appeared in Danish and American TV programs - including CNN.

An Activity example: Solar System Quiz STaRS Astronomy Activities and Investigations for 8 to 12 year olds The STaRS Web site comprised two main sections. The first section, Astronomy for 8-12 year olds offers links to both astronomy activities and resources General Considerations The presentation of astronomy activities on the Web benefits from extra thought than in the case of more standard activities used in classes. The Web is of course viewable outside of class by students and non-students. It is therefore important to include activities that can be done outside of the classroom and class times. The most obvious are activities based on nightime observing. As well, STaRS will be accessed by students without teacher supervision, hence all information and activities should be clearly stated and easy to perform. Whilst
