Does the universe go on forever? Could it have an “edge?” What would be on the other side? Is there other intelligent life out there in the universe? On planets orbiting other stars….

You are interested in astronomy questions, but don’t like science…. A paradox! You need a different kind of science class!

Scientific questions affect your life… Is global warming a serious problem? Will there still be skiing in Colorado when you’re my age? Do Americans your age die because of our dependence on oil? Are there viable alternatives to oil?

The most important scientific questions many people deal with involve medicine, life, and death. This class will improve your judgment to make good decisions.

Let’s start by visiting the class website.

In a lecture class with an interesting, clear, engaging teacher, what fraction of the material presented during the semester does a student typically learn? A.90% B.70% C.50% D.25% E.15%

R. Hake, ”…A six-thousand-student survey…” AJP 66, (‘98). = post-pre 100-pre traditional lecture Force Concept Inventory In a traditional lecture class, students learn about 25% of the concepts (that they don’t already know).

= post-pre 100-pre red = trad, blue = interactive engagement What difference does interactive engagement make? Finkelstein and Pollock (2005). Physical Review, ST:PER, 1,1

It is very important that you learn about traxoline. Traxoline is a new form of zionter. It is monotilled in Ceristanna. The Ceristannians gristerlate large amounts of fevon and then bracter it to quasel traxoline. Traxoline may well be one of our most lukized snezlaus in the future because of our zionter lescelidge. The Monotillation of Traxoline DIRECTIONS: Answer the following sentences in complete sentences. Be sure to use your best handwriting 1.What is traxoline? 2.Where is traxoline monotilled? 3.How is traxoline quaselled? 4.Why is it important to know about traxoline?

What happens when this gas hits the earth?!

Scale of the galaxy…If we made a scale model of the solar system with the sun as a grapefruit, the planets would be various small objects (pea, grape) scattered at distances from feet to tens of yards. On the same scale, where would the next star (next grapefruit) be? a.Across campus b.At the edge of Boulder c.Near Denver d.Across the USA
