Constellations Lab
I was about to lecture on constellations this year and realized that perhaps the students could teach themselves by using Stellarium-web.org, where they can move and manipulate the sky. I created this worksheet/guide for them to follow! It worked great and they enjoyed it. I had to give them some verbal help, but overall it was much more effective than a lecture. You will need computer access for your students, although you could do it as a demo on a smartboard but that would be less effecti

PhET Simulation Online Lab: Kepler's Laws
This PhET Kepler's Laws online physics lab will guide your students through an exploration of Kepler's three laws of planetary motion. First, they will learn about the characteristics of an ellipse. Next, by manipulating the variables and observing the real-time effects on planetary motion, students will investigate the elliptical orbits of planets and the relationship between orbital period, orbital speed, gravitational strength and the planet's distance from the sun. Students will collect and

Mars Launch Lab - Kepler's Laws - Orbits Virtual Simulation Lab
Mars Launch Lab - Kepler's Laws - Orbits Virtual Simulation Lab consists of three parts. In Part I, Students follow a short (40 second) video with guided notes/questions. After the quick video, students play a game-like simulation where they need to find the correct date to minimize the time to get to Mars.In Part II, students use another simulation and adjust the orbital radius of a satellite to see the changes in Kinetic energy, orbital velocity, and time.In Part III, students use a third s

Why You Can't See Stars in A City Interactive Virtual Simulation Activity Lab
This Interactive Virtual Activity (or Lab) uses three simulations. Students see how adding artificial light (Light Pollution) makes it difficult to see the night sky. The activity includes step by step instructions with visual snip cues, making it accessible for all kinds of learners. Besides answering questions throughout the activity, students aer asked to graph the data accumulated and draw conclusions. This activity would be a great addition to any astronomy mini-lesson. Included are .

Animated Solar System
Great & Fun Activity! How big is our Solar System? This activity will amaze your students. This is a class activity and is best done outdoors. Can be done in long hallways as well.The planet cards should be printed in color and then laminated. The Power Point should be presented before the activity to provide a basis for understanding the activity better. Song mnemonic provided as a fun way to help them remember the distances between the planets. Enjoy!
