Scholastic Science Place series. Developed in cooperation with Houston Museum of Natural Science (Houston, Tex.). New York, N.Y.: Scholastic, 1997. Program Overview The Scholastic Science Place series is a K-6 program with 42 units, 6 for each grade level. The 6 units for grade 6 are organized under topics in the life, earth, and physical sciences. Three key themes(1) scale and structure, (2) systems and interactions, and (3) patterns of changeare incorporated into the program. For each unit, teaching materials, student materials, and some optional components are available. Student Edition Recommended grade level: In The Universe: Exploring Stars, Constellations, and Galaxies , students learn that the stars and other bodies that make up the universe are constantly changing. The unit's lessons are grouped under 3 subconcepts: (1) Stars can be studied from earth using direct and indirect evidence. (2) Stars have predictable life cycles and exist in groups. (3) The universe is constantly expanding. is a 17-lesson unit requiring about 22 class sessions of 60 minutes each.

The Antennae Animations Animation of Colliding Galaxies QuickTime High Res (22.47 MB) Low Res (4.39 MB) MPEG High Res (7.72 MB) Low Res (5.30 MB) The sequence begins by depicting the collision of two large galaxies which now form The Antennae. Gas and stars from the galaxies are ejected into long arcs. The animation then shows how collisions between huge gas clouds in the central region of the merging system trigger a stellar baby boom. Next, as seen in a closer view, the most massive of these stars race through their evolution in a few million years. These stars end their lives as they explode as supernovas that further heat the clouds and enrich them with heavy elements. In conclusion, the animation dissolves into Chandra’s X-ray image of The Antennae galaxies. [Run time = 0:39 sec] Credit: Simulation: NASA/STScI/G. Bacon

1. Our Place in the Universe Reading: Chapter 1, especially pages 1-20 This is an exciting era to be studying astronomy - new technologies for ground-based telescopes and telescopes in space are providing new information about the universe - from the neighboring planets to the most distant galaxies. You are about to embark on a journey to explore these exciting places. The first chapter of the book aims to give an introduction to astronomy - both ancient and modern - and discuss the cycles of the sky that have been observed since ancient times. It is a long chapter that is particularly full of detailed material. We will make our way through the chapter, but bear in mind that subsequent chapters are somewhat less 'dense'. What Is Astronomy? First things first - we need to think about the very basic issues of what is astronomy and what are the different types of objects we are going to study. STUDY TOOL - the objective of the following questions - and subsequent questions throughout the sessions - is to encourage you to think about the material as you read through and to help you check that you are understanding the concepts as they are covered. You are encouraged to open a "Take Notes" page and write down your own answers. Afterwards, click on the "Model Answers" at the bottom of the page to compare with your own answers. Just opening the model answers and reading them defeats the point - you are less likely to learn the material if you do not process it in your own brain first.

This change occurs every day, it's just so minute that most of us never even notice. This shift of the starry curtain became official with the change of seasons; summer gives way to autumn on the Autumnal equinox (around September 21). The air will become cooler, leaves are changing color, but the stars of summer linger on for just a little while longer. After dusk in early October go out and look to the top of the sky. You'll see three bright stars forming the Summer Triangle, the seasons' dominant asterism. The brightest star, at the upper right as you face south, is Vega, which is part of the constellation Lyra "the Lyre." Vega is a white hot star located 26 light-years away. From Vega, direct your eyes slowly to the east. The first bright star you'll find is Deneb, the second corner of the Triangle and the tail of Cygnus "the Swan." Cygnus is also known as the Northern Cross. Looking down to the south you'll find Altair, the last star of the Triangle. Altair is part of the head of Aquila "the Eagle." It takes a little more practice and imagination to see the eagle.

47. Science Question Of The Week - Constellations, Stars, Southern Cross - March 22, Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two satellite galaxies of our Milky Waygalaxy, Not a single one of the stars in any of these constellations is http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/scienceques2001/20020322.htm

Both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere have nearly the same amount of bright stars and both have bright constellations in the shape of a cross, but what does our hemisphere's night sky have that the Southern Hemisphere's doesn't? Yesterday, March 20, was the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and the first day of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. The Sun is just about directly above the Tropic of Cancer at noon now - the Sun rises with the constellation of Cancer the Crab. At night, in the Northern Hemisphere, the spring time constellations are taking the stage as the winter constellations are exiting, stage right. Leo the Lion, Virgo the Virgin, and Bootes the Herdsman are all dominant in the eastern sky before midnight. At the same time, Orion, Canis Major, Auriga, and Taurus are sinking toward the western horizon In a few months, the prominent summer constellation including Lyra, Aquilla and the Northern Cross (Cygnus the Swan) will make their claim on the eastern horizon. In the mid latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere, you can still see Canis Major and Orion. If you recall from our question in January, Orion pretty much straddles the Celestial Equator - it's visible in both hemispheres. However, you might notice that Orion looks a bit different. It's upside down from the perspective of a viewer in Argentina or Australia - the sword lies above the familiar 3-stars in a row belt. Not only are Orion and Canis Major easy to spot, but the constellations of the zodiac such as Taurus, Gemini, Leo, and Virgo are all visible too. Leo, Bootes and Virgo can be seen now in the Southern Hemisphere, in the early evening, rising in the northeast. At the same time, the bright constellations of Centaur and the Southern Cross (Crux) ride high in the southeastern sky.

48. Science Question Of The Week -- Constellations -- May 20, 2005 Most of the constellations are too big to see all of their stars at the same time In fact, some nebulae and galaxies are named for the constellation in http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/scienceques2004/20050520.htm

What are Testudo, Frederici Honores, Sceptrum Brandenburgicum, and Officina Typographica? In essence, they're losers, suck ups, obsoletes, also rans, or former star formations. They just didn't have what was needed to grace our night skies. Most of the 88 constellations linking the 2,000 or so stars we're able to see with the unaided eye were named after mythological creatures and beasts by the ancient Greeks and Arabs. However, appellations of some of the constellations generally visible from only the Southern Hemisphere are relatively modern and were often named by early explorers and seafarers. Sextans, Telescopium, Reticulum, and Octans, for instance, are all navigational instruments, while Vela, Carina and Puppis are the sails, keel and poop deck, respectively, of Argo, the great sailing ship of the Argonauts. Interestingly, even though parts of the ship made it into the sky, the entire ship didn't Argo Navis is another failed constellation. Turdus Solitarius (the solitary thrush)

60. Canes Venatici With one exception, the constellation s stars are quite faint, NGC 4485 andNGC 4490 are two splendid galaxies in the same field 4485 is more compact http://www.dibonsmith.com/cvn_con.htm

Canes Venatici Transit Date of principal star: 5 April Canes Venatici is one of those obscure constellations introduced by Johannes Hevelius in 1690. It represents the two dogs Asterion and Chara, both held on a leash by Bootes as they apparently chase the Great Bear around the North Pole. With one exception, the constellation's stars are quite faint, fourth- and fifth-magnitude stars. There are only three Bayer stars , yet several notable binaries can be found, as well as a famous variable and a number of interesting deep sky objects as well. Alpha Canum Venaticorum is popularly called Cor Caroli ( Heart of Charles ). Most sources give Edmund Halley the credit, naming it after King Charles II after the restoration of the monarchy in Britain in 1660. (Some say, however, that the reference was initially meant to commemorate Charles I, after his execution.) The star has a visual magnitude of 2.9 (variable), a distance of 110 light years, and roughly the same size as our Sun. It is also a splendid double with, perhaps, a subtle colour contrast (discussed below). Double stars in Canes Venatici: Canes Venatici has two attractive binaries: alpha CVn and 25 CVn Alpha and alpha CVn form a celebrated fixed double star system. Note that the primary is
