Astronomy Lesson: Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion with MATH
This 2 page worksheet with complete teacher's answer key makes it easy to integrate math into your astronomy lesson. Students put Kepler's Laws into their own words and apply simple formulas to given values for the 8 planets to test his 3rd law of planetary motion. Then, they are asked to analyze how accurate his 3rd law is mathematically. The second page includes research on 3 dwarf planets and asks students to test Kepler's 3rd law using the data they find online for these celestial bodies.

Using nails, a battery, and speaker wire, a surprisingly strong electromagnet can be made. This lab walks students through making an electromagnet and a laboratory procedure for finding out what happens when variables are changed. There is room for a lot of variation between groups, such as different nails, different wires, or even different numbers of coils in the magnets.
This is a fun lab for students, as it is VERY hands on and they are able to actually make something that works to demons
