The Astro program consisted of a series of space shuttle flights that lifted a complement of telescopes above the distorting and absorbing effects of the Earth’s atmosphere. This guide concentrates on the electromagnetic spectrum and is a practical guide to lesson plans and student activities that may be used to teach scientific principles and to interest students in the field of astronomy. It can complement sections of text in Earth science, physical science, or social studies. Many activities are deigned to extend into the realms of literature, mathematics, art, and history. Six basic lessons are taught:

Guide uses hands-on activities to help students and teachers understand space-based astronomy - astronomical observations made from outer space. It is not intended as a curriculum, instead, teachers should select activities that support and extend existing study. The guide begins with a survey of astronomy-related spacecraft that NASA has sent into outer space. This if followed by a collection of activities organized into four units: The Atmospheric Filter, The Electromagnetic Spectrum, Collecting Electromagnetic Radiation, and Down to Earth. Ideal for incorporating CORE’s 35 mm slide sets showing current results from NASA spacecraft such as the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO), and the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE). These slides are available for review at the Endeavour Center and can be ordered directly from CORE.

Includes the following topics: Aeronautics, application satellites, manned spaceflight, solar system, space sciences, technology utilization. Includes reproducible information handouts, classroom activities, worksheets, and tests.

Each topic listed below has fact sheets, articles, and learning activities. Excellent Resource.

Lesson one of six which looks at the Earth’s atmosphere. Following the lesson, the student should be able to idetify the chemical composition of the atmospheres for each planet in the solar system and determine th ephysical properties of gases. There is a gas properties lab and a percent of oxygen in air lab.

Can be adpted for older and younger students. Guide is arranged into four sections, each following the format of a detective case with clues, investigation, materials, procedure, questions, relating science to..., and helping Mother Earth.
