Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hirshfeld's Astronomy Activity and Laboratory Manual is a collection of twenty classroom-based exercises that provide an active-learning approach to mastering and comprehending key elements of astronomy. Used as a stand-alone activity book, or as a supplement to any mainstream astronomy text, this manual provides a broad, historical approach to the field through a narrative conveying how astronomers gradually assembled their comprehensive picture of the cosmos over time. Each activity has been carefully designed to be implemented in classrooms of any size, and require no specialized equipment beyond a pencil, straightedge, and calculator. The necessary mathematical background is introduced on an as-needed basis for every activity and is accessible for most undergraduate students. This learn-by-doing approach is sure to engage and excite your introductory astronomy students!

Book excerpt: Dennis Dawson's lab manual gives students the thrill of learning basic astronomy concepts through first hand experiences versus taking the traditional approach of rehashing preconceived observations and analysis done by astronomers. To overcome the need for access to remote observatories, Dawson has cleverly created exercises that are developed around the use of equipment that students would likely have on hand or could construct inexpensively. Students acquire the necessary commitment to understanding basic concepts, basic experimental procedures, the concept of experimental uncertainty, and the discipline of drawing conclusions from information gained first hand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual in Astronomy The laboratory method of instruction is growing in favor so rapidly with astronomical teachers that there is little occasion for any plea in its behalf. It is a recognized fact that the direct investigation of celestial phenomena gives a vividness and reality to the subject and arouses interest and enthusiasm difficult to obtain by any other means. Indeed, to require the study of the heavenly bodies and provide no means for observing them is somewhat like restricting the student of botany to text-books and to pictures of plants. It cannot be urged as a valid objection to this method that large mathematical attainments and expensive equipment are prerequisites. Laborious investigations necessitating telescopes and observatories are not the ones which should engage the attention of our students at the beginning; but rather the simple observations which teach them how to see and enable them to gather at first hand a store of pleasant astronomical information. Whether the study of astronomy is taken up first in secondary schools or colleges, years of experience have convinced me that it is best to devote at least one term to general astronomy and naked-eye observation. An unobstructed place for watching the heavens, a few home-made instruments, and evening hours of laboratory instruction will, I believe, do more to foster a genuine interest in astronomy or prepare for the use of instruments of precision than any amount of text-book study which is supplemented only by desultory star-gazing.

Book excerpt: This lab manual provides students with hands-on experience studying astronomy in a lab setting. The exercises provide instructional content for working with the software tool Stellarium, and studying various stellar bodies including the Sun, Moon, and planets, as well as variable stars and galaxies and the Milky Way. Several labs also focus on planetarium terminology, spectral analysis, Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams, and the expansion of the universe. The ten labs in this manual are printed in color and have perforated pages for students to tear out and turn in.

Book excerpt: "This book contains a collection of astronomy assignments like no other book available. The lessons in Engaging in Astronomical Inquiry reflect an innovative approach to learning astronomy by putting you, the learner, in the center of each and every lesson. In these lessons, you decide what specific topics you want to study, create your own research questions, design your own strategies to pursue the evidence, and defend your scientific conclusions based on the data you collect. If this sounds like you are responsible for your own learning in these lessons, you are exactly right. In Engaging in Astronomical Inquiry, you are the astronomer out there collecting data about objects in the cosmos."--Preface.

Book excerpt: This introductory astronomy LM contains observing and lab-oratory activities that are an essential part of an intro-ductory two-semester descriptive astronomy course. The primary aim of the LM is to give the student an appreciationof the night sky. Observing activities include a compre-hensive guide to the constellations, how to find the ecliptic and the determination of North, latitude, andlength of the year. Indoor activities include building atelescope, determining the composition of stars using spec-troscopes, building a scale model of the solar system, determining the age of the Universe, and the search forplanets around other stars.
