The Universe is a the broadest subject in all of science, but it provides the greatest degree of curiosity! This project takes advantage of that curiosity in order to promote science education. Although physics is the base of all sciences, it is much easier to spark interest in a student with planets than it is with calculating moments of inertia. Below are a collection of activities, some original some borrowed, that can be useful in the classroom at various levels of education. Each activity is divided into The Sun, Solar System, and Extra-Solar categories. Teachers can access the Teacher Resource page.
This page is the work of four secondary science teachers working on a NSF Research for Teachers grant at Auburn University during the summer of 1999.
