PHYS 6400 Astronomy by Sight
Astronomy by Sight is a set of laboratory-based modules that are specifically designed to prepare prospective and practicing teachers (K-12) to teach science as a process of learning by discovery. The modules are also suitable for liberal arts students and for under-prepared students who aspire to science-related careers. Astronomy by Sight emphasizes the process of science rather than the presentation and explanation of facts. This course will deal with the sun, moon and stars, which will help predict and explain daily/monthly changes in the appearance of the sky. It will also deal with the earth, solar system and possibility of extraterrestrial life.
