Improving the Quality of Undergraduate Astronomy Courses In-Class Activities and Answers Developed and Tested at MSU in a Large (100-250 students) Astronomy Survey Lecture for Non-Science Majors The plan is for this area to be readable/writable by all the ISP205 faculty. Feel free to borrow and update/customize activities, but please put a copy of the improved version back in this area. This temporary location will be moved to the ISP205 course section when George Perkins sets it up to survive the semester change. To be effective, Use activities regularly so they don't fall into the habit of thinking you always do all the work in lecture. Teach them how to work together in cooperative groups; don't assume they know how to do that although it's becoming very common in HS. At least assign them roles. Use the group time as an opportunity to get to personally explain something to them, NOT as a chance to think about the next piece of lecture! Explicitly tie student assessment into the activities done in class; why should they think the topics are important if you don't?

92. Two Astronomy Classroom Activities Two astronomy Classroom activities. KR Cranson. Mars Loop in Gemini199293, 15 color slides Classroom Activity, $16.00. The Three http://www.msu.edu/user/pon/slides.html

Two Astronomy Classroom Activities K. R. Cranson Mars Loop in Gemini 1992-93, The Three-Planet Gathering of June 1991, Write me for more details on how to order. How about a couple of nice astronomy units? Jenny Pon then at Abrams Planetarium has prepared two excellent hands-on classroom activities for your consideration. Both encourage critical thinking and collaborative learning as students examine motions of celestial objects. They are about as close to an actual observation experience as possible in a typical classroom enviroment. Mars Loop in Gemini 1992-93 is my favorite. Jenny photographed the retrograde loop of Mars as it moved through the Gemini constellation between September 1992 and May 1993. Using a 35mm slide projector, students can project these images on a white surface (large sheet of white paper or a white marker board) to record the positions of Mars and several reference stars. Working out Mars' track by connecting consecutive positions of the planet produces a classic retrograde loop. By allowing student teams to map Mars' trip through the reference stars with little or no prior explanation of what to expect, a real problem is generated. After the map of Mars' trace is complete, ask groups to form an explanation for their results. When all teams have reached a hypothesis, in writing, I would ask each group's spokeperson to present it to the entire class.

Resource Activities Astronomy Sunspots Spotted I n this activity students will study sunspots and their motion. From data gathered, they will determine the significance of the sunspot data. The data will be used to calculate the rotational period of the sun. The students will then draw conclusions as to the sunspot's impact on the world. This activity will also include a historical study of astronomy. Electrostatics A Hair Raising Experience This activity is designed to help students understand the concept of charged particles and neutral materials. Students will work with conductors and insulators to produce, detect, and transfer charges. Electrostatics 2 A Positively NEGATIVE Experience Students will work in cooperative learning groups to discover how Gauss's Law applies to conductors and dielectric materials. Geology Geology 1 Topsy-turvy Maps Students will use the data analyzer and motion detector to collect data and measure distances. The graphing calculator will be used to show the profile of the simulated land features. They will create topographic maps drawn to scale of a given setup and relate the concepts to the creation of historical ocean maps. Geology 2 Dirty Investigation Given a set of minerals found with the skeleton of an ancient traveler, students will identify the minerals, plot their location on a map, and determine the trail the man walked. Finally the students will right a story about the adventures they think the man might have had. Suitable for 4th and 5th grade students.
