This interactive tutorial resource reviews the basic information about waves and the electromagnetic spectrum.

This organizer provides information and comparison of the planets in the solar system.

Students will investigate how color and wavelength are related to temperature of an object. The first application shows a robot made of extremely tough material being heated with a nuclear-powered blow torch, and tracks the changes in the spectrum of the robot as temperature increases. The next application repeats the experimental setup, this time tracking the changes in peak wavelength as the robot's temperature increases. Then students are led through the application of these concepts to make analyses about the connection between star temperatures and colors. Students are presented with challenge questions at the end of the activity.

The Hubble Deep Field Academy is an online exploration that invites students to examine the Hubble Deep Filed image and simulate the process used by astronomers to count, classify, and identify objects in the image. Students also estimate the objects' distances from Earth.

This supplemental resource provides teaching tips for instruction of an activity regarding the Hubble Telescope. "The Hubble Deep Field Academy" is an online exploration that invites students to examine the Hubble Deep Filed image and simulate the process used by astronomers to count, classify, and identify objects in the image. Students also estimate the objects' distances from Earth.

This interactive resource demonstrates the relationship between frequency and wavelength. Students determine frequency and wavelength for a wave of a certain energy level. Energy level can be adjusted multiple times and the application run again.

Students will learn about the variables that affect the gravitational force on an object and how changing the variables affects it.

Students learn about basic properties of waves and the electromagnetic spectrum and then identify peak wavelengths from graphical data and use this concept to determine the relationship between temperature and star color.

These teaching tips provide additional information for implementation of the module "Star Light, Star Bright." With this online resource, students learn about basic properties of waves and the electromagnetic spectrum and then identify peak wavelengths from graphical data and use this concept to determine the relationship between temperature and star color.

Students describe and justify the sequence of events associated with the 2002 Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Mission 3B. Students will also learn how technology has provided access to outer space and other remote locations.

These teaching tips provide additional information for implementation of the lesson "Mission Mastermind." With this online resource, students describe and justify the sequence of events associated with the 2002 Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Mission 3B. Students will also learn how technology has provided access to outer space and other remote locations.

Students will identify planets and other solar system objects using visual and written clues. Students will read information to learn about planets and other solar system objects.

In this interactive activity, students relate the temperature of stars to their color.
