Explore the major events in the history of astronomy as you journey through our solar system through readings, multimedia presentations and observations. The primary goal of this course is to expand your understanding of the night sky through active investigations. As you strengthen your knowledge of the solar system, you will develop standards-based lessons and activities to enrich your own science curriculum. The rich, engaging environment of the online classroom will also allow you to connect with other educations as you share resources, lessons, and ideas. The textbook, Astronomy by Dinah Moche, is to be purchased separately. Internet access is required.
