Advanced Astronomy Using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)

Electromagnetic Waves - A Sea of Information

Grade Levels: High School, University, Ages 14-18+

This course module is a summary of electromagnetic waves - their characteristics and production. The analysis of electromagnetic waves from space is integral in understanding the universe we live in.

Physical Forces

Written by: Kimberly Tran in collaboration with Miguel Rico, EIS Education Team Members, March 2016

This project will introduce the basics of physics and discuss the role of physics in space. 

The Space Between Stars

Grade Level: High School

Students will review graphing on a Cartesian plane and calculating distances between points. They will then move on to graphing in three dimensions, calculating distances between points and modelling in 3D.

Solar Eclipses (High School)

In this project, students learn about the causes, types and other notable features of solar eclipses. 

Spectroscopy

Grade (Age) Levels: High School (14-18+)

The spectrum of an object is a graph of the intensity of radiation vs wavelength. A blackbody will give a continuous spectrum. But what causes the lines in the other types of spectra? Can these lines help in the understanding of the properties of the matter responsible for the various spectra?
