Contemporary people all over the world continue to be fascinated with astronomy. Materials Access to local observatories and astronomical equipment would be helpful but is not necessary for this observation-and-recording project. Internet access and e-mail account for teacher or class Procedures To help students appreciate the skills of the ancient Anasazi people of the Southwest in watching the stars and simultaneously to highlight the benefits of up-to-date electronic communication, organize a cooperative sky-gazing project with teachers and students in other parts of the country and in other parts of the world. This project should not depend on telescopes or other high-tech paraphernalia. Your first step is to locate teachers and classes willing to participate with you in an astronomy project over the course of a few months. Find Internet discussion groups and clubs dedicated to astronomy and e-mail addresses of astronomy associations by selecting hyperlinks at

Return to this Lesson Plan's Summary Page Lesson Plan Purpose This project will compare and contrast three NASA satellites: The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE), The COsmic Background Explorer (COBE), and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Other satellite information is included, but the project's focus is a simple introduction to the electromagnetic spectrum as used by the three space observatories. Return to the Table of Contents Lesson Plan Objectives Students will compare physical parts and orbits of each satellite. Students will compare images about each satellite and will participate in hands-on experiments to begin to understand visible, infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths. Return to the Table of Contents Lesson Plan Simulations, Tools, Data, Illustrations, and Images Maps of Earth at Different Projections and Maps of the EUVE Sky at Different Projections (149407 bytes) The Visible Sky (161130 bytes) The Great Observatories (148897 bytes) COBE Spacecraft (159028 bytes) EUVE Spacecraft (215066 bytes) The Electromagnetic Spectrum (166704 bytes) Extreme Ultraviolet Image of the Sky (143043 bytes) Near Infrared Image of the Sky (127796 bytes) Temperature Variations in Cosmic Radiation (COBE) (133419 bytes) Temperatures of the Great Observatories (169190 bytes) Wavelengths of the Great Observatories (160396 bytes) Return to the Table of Contents Lesson Plan Procedure There are several entry points to this unit: with younger students I would use as many images as possible of the three satellites before discussing the electromagnetic spectrum, but teachers of older students might wish to make the spectrum chart the entry point for this unit, so several images which could be used as an introduction are provided in the "images" section above.

Teaching mathematics within a science framework can be both the motivating and the informative keys to delivering a curriculum. In particular, students are naturally inquisitive about space science and the topics surrounding the existence of intelligent life in other parts of our Universe. Tapping into this curiosity, this lesson uniquely combines the concepts of astronomy and probability in order for students to compare the likelihood of intelligent life existing elsewhere in the Universe and winning the lottery. by: Kara C.

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.
