Stars, Constellations, Galaxies, and Nebulae Facts What do you know about stars? What is it that shines and twinkles in the night sky? Astronomers have stuudied stars for centuries but only recently have begun to understand them. Stars, constellations, galaxies and nebulae are all related as you will see. When you are ready, click back to return to the Student Center or click below to explore again. Stars Constellations Galaxies Nebulae ... Terms Stars The picture at left shows a Hubble Telescope view of an exploding star called Eta Carina. The gas and dust will eventually spread out to form a nebula (see Nebulae Section). For most of recorded history the Earth was thought to be the center of the universe and never moved. The constellations were named and stories were told about them as they appeared through the seasons. Without a telescope or other aid the stars seem to be just points of light that move across the sky at night. Some wandered about which we now know are planets. Let's look at some facts about stars. Stars can be packed so close as to be seen as Star Clouds, grouped like a ball as in Globular Clusters or rather loosely assembled in Open Clusters. Patterns are called Constellations and parts of these like the Big Dipper in Ursa Major are called Asterisms.

Scholastic Science Place series. Developed in cooperation with Houston Museum of Natural Science (Houston, Tex.). New York, N.Y.: Scholastic, 1997. Program Overview The Scholastic Science Place series is a K-6 program with 42 units, 6 for each grade level. The 6 units for grade 6 are organized under topics in the life, earth, and physical sciences. Three key themes(1) scale and structure, (2) systems and interactions, and (3) patterns of changeare incorporated into the program. For each unit, teaching materials, student materials, and some optional components are available. Student Edition Recommended grade level: In The Universe: Exploring Stars, Constellations, and Galaxies , students learn that the stars and other bodies that make up the universe are constantly changing. The unit's lessons are grouped under 3 subconcepts: (1) Stars can be studied from earth using direct and indirect evidence. (2) Stars have predictable life cycles and exist in groups. (3) The universe is constantly expanding. is a 17-lesson unit requiring about 22 class sessions of 60 minutes each.

PREVIOUS ENTRY Earth and Beyond SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS NEXT ENTRY Earth, Moon, and Sun Earth, Moon, and Stars. Reprinted with revisions. Cary I. Sneider. Great Explorations in Math and Science (GEMS) series. Berkeley, Calif.: Lawrence Hall of Science, 1994. Program Overview The Great Explorations in Math and Science (GEMS) series includes more than 50 teacher's guides and handbooks for preschool through grade 10. About 35 of these are appropriate for middle school. The series also includes several assembly presenter's guides and exhibit guides. New guides and handbooks continue to be developed, and current titles are revised frequently. The series is designed to teach key science and mathematics concepts through activity-based learning. The time needed to complete GEMS units varies from about 2 to 10 class sessions. Teacher's Guide Recommended grade level: In Earth, Moon, and Stars , students investigate ancient models of the universe, the earth's shape, gravity, the moon and its phases, star clocks, and star maps. They compare 4 ancient models of the earth to learn how each one explained common events seen daily in the sky, then they invent their own "ancient models" of the world. They use a questionnaire to launch a discussion about the shape of the earth and about gravity. Students observe the phases of the moon for a month; use a model to explain the moon's monthly cycle of phases and eclipses; make and use star clocks; and learn how to find constellations in the night sky by reading star maps. All of the activities can be done in the classroom or outdoors during the daytime, with a few evening homework assignments.

Please note that a web site may consist of many web pages and you should visit enough of these to be able to describe what the entire site is about, not just the home page. Your descriptions should be brief - perhaps a long paragraph for each site - but must include 1) a general description of the web site and 2) at least one example of something you learned from the Web site You may occasionally be denied access to a site.
