A team of master teachers, university faculty, and NASA researchers have created a series of web-based astronomy and astrobiology lessons for the CERES Project. These classroom-ready activities for K-12 students represent a robust combination of contemporary teaching/learning strategies from the National Science Education Standards (NRC, 1996), exciting and current NASA science data, and Internet pointers to an endless supply of accurate and timely resources. Three Types of Classroom-Ready Lessons are Available On-line: STUDENT INQUIRIES / EXTENSION LESSONS Students explore NASA data to construct first-hand knowledge about the astronomical universe. These internet-based lessons require 1 to 4 class hours and are tied explicitly to the NRC National Science Education Standards astronomy objectives. They can be used as an introduction to astronomy topics, as an intermediate activity, or as an extension activity that requires active participation by students. SPACEQUESTS QuestForm Template APPLICATIONS IN ASTROBIOLOGY Students explore interdisciplinary science topics within the context of astrobiology to construct first-hand knowledge about the origin, distribution, and future of life on Earth and beyond. These internet-based lessons require 1 to 4 class hours and are closely tied to the NRC National Science Education Standards and the Principles and Standards for Mathematics. These lessons can be used as stand alone activities or as supplemental materials for standard math and science courses. Many of these activities are suitable for both middle and high school students, even though they may be cited as being appropriate for one group or another.

Last updated: Grade 6 Astronomy Unit The Pan-Canadian Science Curriculum recommends objectives for all science units in each grade as a way of unifying the science courses taught from province to province. Most provinces have adopted the objectives into their own curricula, and have designed courses around them. Though grade 6 courses still vary slightly across the country, presented below is a complete unit plan which covers all of the objectives in the Pan-Canadian Protocol. This unit can be used as-is to cover many (if not all) of your provincial expectations, or modified as you see fit. The reference numbers given for each lesson below refers to the Pan-Canadian specific learning outcomes.

Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Home “other Worlds Other Life: Our Solar System and Beyond” by Roberta Mazzucco Contents of Curriculum Unit 96.06.07: Narrative Teacher’s Bibliography Children’s Bibliography To Guide Entry Having grown up during the days of the space race to the Moon, I can remember vividly watching the launching of the various space flights and reading about the mysteries of outer space. As a third grade student, I remember being assigned the task of making Mercury for the class model which was to hang from the ceiling of the classroom. Although my Mercury was a small circle of no more than three inches in diameter, I fondly remember how much time I spent deciding on a color and then painstakingly applied paint to that small circle which I regarded as my masterpiece. In remembering this simple event, I realize that in doing this unit, I hope it can produce moments that students will long remember and may even influence them to study science as a life’s career. I know that my students are very enthusiastic about the topic. They are fascinated with any discussion about the stars and outer space. Since this unit is going to try to include discussion about the possibility of life on other planets in our Solar System or beyond, I found it intriguing that a preliminary talk with my students about what they knew about outer space and the planets led to an almost immediate mention of aliens. We made a web of what they knew and it was amazing how their first thoughts were of Martians, and UFOs. For them, any discussion of the Solar System would have to include other life forms.

Other Worlds, Distant Stars Thursday, 24 July 2003 The search for extraterrestrial life hinges upon the existence of planetary systems much like our own elsewhere in the Universe. But such solar-type systems have proved difficult to find, partly because of the technical difficulties involved. Now a team of astronomers using the Anglo Australian Telescope at Siding Spring might just have cracked the cosmic holy grail. They have discovered a Jupiter-like planet in a circular Jupiter-like orbit around a Sun-like star. Could this alien solar system be home to one of the Earth-like planets we are seeking?

There are 70,000 million million million stars in the heavens. Surely there at least one which supports a family of planets like our solar system, and a home like the Earth? Richard Smith : Well, the Universe may be full of stars like our sun rising over habitable planets much like our own. But then a sunrise over a life-filled valley may be unique to Earth. Until recently, choosing which, has been little more than astronomical guesswork.

Danny Yee's Book Reviews Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest Life on Other Worlds: The 20th-Century Extraterrestrial Life Debate Steven J. Dick Cambridge University Press 1998 Amazon A book review by Danny Yee In Life on Other Worlds Steven Dick surveys the history of scientific debates over and searches for extraterrestrial life. Some of the science is covered, but the primary focus is on how it happened and why it took the form it did, and on its connections with broader cultural and social currents. It is dry in places, but Life on Other Worlds is a broad-ranging and readable account which should have wide appeal. An abridgment and updating of Dick's more academic work, The Biological Universe: The Twentieth-Century Extraterrestrial Life Debate and the Limits of Science , this work lacks full references, but it has an annotated bibliographical essay that will be more useful for most readers. An opening chapter covers the history of cosmological, philosophical, and scientific thinking about life on other worlds, from Democritus down to Lowell. The remaining chapters cover different themes through the 20th century. Mars has had a central place in the search for life in the solar system. Lowell's canals, the search for vegetation, and then space age observations and the Viking experiments have all been the subject for debates. And more recently there have been claims of fossils in Martian meteorites and speculation about Europa and Titan.

Articles Exhibits: Gallery Webcams Birthday stars More information: Press releases Publications Links Contact JAC The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope: exploring the cold universe by Douglas Pierce-Price, JAC What do you think astronomers look at? Many people imagine astronomers peering through the lens of an eyepiece at the stars, of which there are 100 billion in our galaxy alone. However, large modern telescopes don't have eyepieces, and instead display their images on computer screens. And what's even stranger is that some of these telescopes aren't used to look at stars at all! By looking at the stuff between the stars, telescopes right here on the Big Island are answering questions about other worlds, the earliest galaxies, and the origins of the stars themselves. The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) on Mauna Kea is designed to detect "submillimeter radiation". This is light that is invisible to human eyes, with wavelengths of about a millimeter or less (from 1/25" to 1/100"). The JCMT is the largest single-dish submillimeter wave telescope in the world. Astronomers study objects so far away that their light has taken thousands or millions of years, or more, to reach us. This means that we are seeing these distant objects as they were thousands or millions of years ago, when the light first set out on its long journey.

Are we alone? Forget for the moment the question of life on other planets. More to the point, are there other planets like the ones in our own solar system? The idea that we might have something in common with the multitude of stars in the night sky has been around for as long as humans have been able to conceive of stars as individual suns. But now we know we are not alone, at least in terms of belonging to a solar system. Future historians of astronomy no doubt will recall the 1990s as the beginning of a golden age of planet detection, starting in 1995 with the discovery of a planet orbiting the Sun-like star 51 Pegasi. By the following year, the discovery of extrasolar planets had become so commonplace that Astronomy magazine ran an article with the memorable headline "Ho, Hum, More New Planets." But this past April, astronomers took planet detection to a new level with the discovery of three planets orbiting Upsilon Andromedae. That's two more than in any other known planetary system, with the exception of our own.
