Unit 2: Astronomy

In this unit, learners will explore the universe through studying how humans have described the universe (including constellations & the geocentric and heliocentric models), explained apparent and actual motions, studied the moon, and theorized about the beginning of our solar system and universe. Students will experience hands-on learning via various lab activities including graphing tides, creating ellipses, classifying stars, and modeling the Big Bang Theory.
