Download or read book Introductory Astronomy Exercises written by Dale C. Ferguson and published by Cengage Learning. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ferguson's flexible and useful INTRODUCTORY ASTRONOMY EXERCISES, Second Edition, provides professors and students with laboratory exercises that are well-tested, current, and flexible to individual course needs. These labs have a variety of origins and authors, and bring a broad range of activity to the introductory astronomy lab. Most require only inexpensive equipment. INTRODUCTORY ASTRONOMY EXERCISES, Second Edition, gives students practical experience with the things they only read about in their book, such as using a telescope and CCD photography. Ferguson groups the exercises together by whether they deal with the solar system or stars and other objects beyond the solar system. Three introductory exercises on using telescopes, viewing constellations and the Celestial Sphere, and using numbers in science set the stage and help readers overcome anxiety. A combination of indoor and outdoor labs allows for adjustments due to weather conditions. A chart that cross-references exercises in this manual to relevant chapters in Brooks/Cole astronomy books adds to the book's flexibility, and help the instructor reinforce selected topics.

It will aid learners with preliminary experience in computing and/or astronomy to experience astronomical data analysis. Each exercise also includes a summary of the accompanying theory to provide learners a head start. Although this book was conceptualized from introductory astronomy courses, undergraduate students, amateur astronomers, and college lecturers will all find it useful.
Download or read book Exercises in Practical Astronomy written by M.T Buck and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a series of well-defined problems supplemented by solutions, Exercises in Practical Astronomy: Using Photographs presents meaningful practical work in elementary astronomy and astrophysics. The book provides authentic astronomical photographs of very high quality on which different types of objects can be studied with equipment as simple as rulers and protractors. In addition to photographs and a set of exercises that cover 12 topics, the coverage includes ample hints and worked solutions that are designed to enable students to work independently. SI units are used for physical data and in conversions of astronomical quantities. This book is one of the few to use real rather than idealized or simplified data in the problems.

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 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.

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.
