1. Using SDSS image 1. Insert Picture 2. Set picture size to 6 inches high 3. Ensure picture is behind the lines

2. http://cas.sdss.org/dr5/en/tools/getimg/ click get images, fields, Choose a run Choose camcol 1 through 6. Look at the chart on the right side and find that run Select a field that falls between the min and max listed for that run (if you don’t, you will get a message No images exists for this region. ) Enter that field in the box. Choose size 992 x 680. Click Get Image. Save image.

5. 4th grade standard: compare and contrast physical attributes A. Recognize the physical attributes of stars in the night sky such as number, size, color and patterns. b. Compare the similarities and differences of planets to the stars in appearance, position, and number in the night sky.

6. Background information needed: what see with eyes vs. what see with telescope - not same. SDSS - telescope. Magnification level of xxx. What do you notice about the number and appearance of objects in your object? (hint available - number, color, size, shape)? What is galaxy vs. star? Color? Number?

7. 6th grade d. Explain the motion of objects in the day/night sky in terms of relative position.

8. Use planetarium software In conjunction with the lecture tutorials When, if ever, does the Sun set in the West?

9. Understand the effects of relative positions of Moon, Earth, Sun (6th grade) Use the jpl site to do phases of moon

10. Explain why the pattern of stars in a constellation stays the same, but a planet can be seen in different locations at different times. 4th grade

11. Sky and Telescope.com. Interactive sky chart. Need to register. Name and email address required. And didn’t like my browser. What time of year is the constellation (your zodiac sign here) visible anywhere in the sky between 9pm and 11pm (local time) from your home? What time of year is the constellation (your zodiac sign here) visible above the horizon between 9pm and 11pm (local time) at the SAME LATITUDE but south of the equator? What about from the north pole? NOPE>.. probably need – 9pm � or just one time. Heavens above – is online and free and no registration.

12. Assessments Mastering Astronomy - summative Tutorials in CourseCompass -> formative assessment - but I won’t see or use their answers Discussions -> allow open for lecture tutorials. Discussions -> One question from lecture tutorial - justify your answer - summative Quizzes about planetarium questions/motions of sky - maybe include some other data sources too.

13. Still need to do Open ended - do I want to do anything on this in my first time through? With 100+ students, online, as an overload?!? No! Scientific inquiry - make sketches, be systematic, take notes, proposing questions that could be answered (maybe they can do this in small groups?) How to elicit prior knowledge? - maybe leave it to course compass - they all do a question at beginning.
