Synopsis

Your students can memorize anything. Help them learn the processes of astronomy instead! "Contemporary Activities in Astronomy" emphasizes the process of science rather than the product. As practiced by most scientists, it is a process - a vital, ongoing enterprise - that is constantly changing and emerging with new information. This text will help you teach your students to learn.The third edition retains the standard paper-and-pencil labs for those whose equipment and computer access is limited, but the web links will permit many of the labs to be done with information downloaded from the Web. The special features include: Companion website which provides links to astronomy-related sites to enhance activities in the book; Full-color photos that illustrate major astronomical events; "Personal Perspectives" that showcase current astronomers; "Historical Moments" which capture accomplishments of great astronomers; 34 exercises that offer a choice of indoor and outdoor activities; Sky & Telescope activities; Minimal equipment requirements; and Appendices that include equipment notes, SC1-SC2 Charts, Star Finder and translucent graph paper.
