Download or read book Mapping the Spectrum written by Klaus Hentschel and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the boom of spectrum analysis in the 1860s, spectroscopy has become one of the most fruitful research technologies in analytic chemistry, physics, astronomy, and other sciences. This book is the first in-depth study of the ways in which various types of spectra, especially the sun's Fraunhofer lines, have been recorded, displayed, and interpreted. The book assesses the virtues and pitfalls of various types of depictions, including hand sketches, woodcuts, engravings, lithographs and, from the late 1870s onwards, photomechanical reproductions. The material of a 19th-century engraver or lithographer, the daily research practice of a spectroscopist in the laboratory, or a student's use of spectrum posters in the classroom, all are looked at and documented here. For pioneers of photography such as John Herschel or Hermann Wilhelm Vogel, the spectrum even served as a prime test object for gauging the color sensitivity of their processes. This is a broad, contextual portrayal of the visual culture of spectroscopy in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The illustrations are not confined to spectra--they show instruments, laboratories, people at work, and plates of printing manuals. The result is a multifacetted description, focusing on the period from Fraunhofer up to the beginning of Bohr's quantum theory. A great deal of new and fascinating material from two dozen archives has been included. A must for anyone interested in the history of modern science or in research practice using visual representations.

Book excerpt: This 2nd edition of the original Galileo's Classroomcollection of ready-to-use astronomy lesson plans meets inquiry-based teachers' and professors' needs for innovative astronomy classroom activities.Today, teachers and professors across the planet have embraced the same challenge Galileo encountered-to share the excitement of astronomy with their students. And, as it was in Galileo's time, simply asking students to memorize facts, figures, and formulas are far from appetizing. Galileo's Classroom (2ed) is a generously donated collection of classroom-ready astronomy lesson plans contributed by some of today's most notable and enthusiastic astronomy educators. Although most of these activities require no specialized equipment, some teachers have found that these astronomy teaching activities nicely align with the capabilities of the easy-to-use and inexpensive Galileoscope.This collection was compiled and edited by Stephanie Slater, Janelle Bailey, and the late Michael Gibbs from the generous contributions of: Doug Arion, Mike Brotherton, Kevin Grazier, Erika Grundstrom, Inge Heyer, Michael LoPresto, David McKinnon, Cherilynn Morrow, Steve Pompea, Stephanie Shipp, Christine Shupla, Kendra Sibbernsen, Rob Sparks, and Timothy F. Slater.

This book was released on 2022-05-23 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a hands-on guide for both the budding astronomer in need of a mentor and the seasoned observer who wants to learn how to effectively share their knowledge with newcomers. Through decades of teaching observational astronomy at the high school and college level, Dr. Daniel E. Barth has inspired thousands of beginners, and in this book he shares the many ways that you can learn and teach others, too. The chapters contain a plethora of practical projects in observational astronomy that can be done on your own or with others, delighting any hobbyist with the many wonders of the night sky. The activities are tailored for different skill levels, always starting from the basics and working their way up to more challenging tasks. They can be done outdoors with a telescope or indoors with a few simple materials, depending on the sky conditions and time of year. Make astronomy fun for all with these engaging DIY projects, which include step-by-step instructions for modeling, sketching, observing, recording, and many other interactive exercises. Appropriate for the amateur who wants to teach their passion, the beginner who has their very first telescope, the binocular owner, and even those who do not yet own equipment, Star Mentor is your guide to forming and sharing a lifelong love for astronomy.

Download or read book Teaching and Learning Astronomy written by Jay Pasachoff and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-12-15 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astronomy is taught in schools worldwide, but few schoolteachers have any background in astronomy or astronomy teaching, and available resources may be insufficient or non-existent. This volume highlights the many places for astronomy in the curriculum; relevant education research and 'best practice'; strategies for pre-service and in-service teacher education; the use of the Internet and other technologies; and the role that planetariums, observatories, science centres, and organisations of professional and amateur astronomers can play. The special needs of developing countries, and other under-resourced areas are also highlighted. The book concludes by addressing how the teaching and learning of astronomy can be improved worldwide. This valuable overview is based on papers and posters presented by experts at a Special Session of the International Astronomical Union.
