ASTRONOMY LAB*

Entering Grades 6-9 – The class will focus on what astronomers know about the sun, moon, solar system, stars and galaxies, and the clever ways they glean this information from visible and invisible light. Students will learn to use internet simulators and a remote observatory, study telescopes and spectroscopes, explore parallax and other techniques, practice using a star chart, and examine strange stars and planets circling other suns. This course is offered in partnership with the De Anza College Planetarium.

  • Some activities for this astronomy class require the use of a printer and laptop or desktop computer with Windows version 8 or higher, or a modern MacOS.
