http://cas.sdss.org/dr5/en/tools/getimg/ • click get images, fields, • Choose a run • Choose camcol 1 through 6. • Look at the chart on the right side and find that run • Select a field that falls between the min and max listed for that run (if you don’t, you will get a message No images exists for this region.) • Enter that field in the box. • Choose size 992 x 680. • Click Get Image. • Save image.
4th grade standard: compare and contrast physical attributes • A. Recognize the physical attributes of stars in the night sky such as number, size, color and patterns. • b. Compare the similarities and differences of planets to the stars in appearance, position, and number in the night sky.
Background information needed: what see with eyes vs. what see with telescope - not same. • SDSS - telescope. Magnification level of xxx. • What do you notice about the number and appearance of objects in your object? • (hint available - number, color, size, shape)? • What is galaxy vs. star? • Color? Number?
6th grade • d. Explain the motion of objects in the day/night sky in terms of relative position.
Use planetarium software • In conjunction with the lecture tutorials • When, if ever, does the Sun set in the West?
Understand the effects of relative positions of Moon, Earth, Sun (6th grade) • Use the jpl site to do phases of moon
Explain why the pattern of stars in a constellation stays the same, but a planet can beseen in different locations at different times. • 4th grade
Sky and Telescope.com. • Interactive sky chart. Need to register. Name and email address required. • And didn’t like my browser. • What time of year is the constellation (your zodiac sign here) visible anywhere in the sky between 9pm and 11pm (local time) from your home? • What time of year is the constellation (your zodiac sign here) visible above the horizon between 9pm and 11pm (local time) at the SAME LATITUDE but south of the equator? • What about from the north pole? • NOPE>.. probably need – 9pm� or just one time. • Heavens above – is online and free and no registration.
Assessments • Mastering Astronomy - summative • Tutorials in CourseCompass -> formative assessment - but I won’t see or use their answers • Discussions -> allow open for lecture tutorials. • Discussions -> One question from lecture tutorial - justify your answer - summative • Quizzes about planetarium questions/motions of sky - maybe include some other data sources too.
Still need to do • Open ended - do I want to do anything on this in my first time through? With 100+ students, online, as an overload?!? No! • Scientific inquiry - make sketches, be systematic, take notes, proposing questions that could be answered (maybe they can do this in small groups?) • How to elicit prior knowledge? - maybe leave it to course compass - they all do a question at beginning.
