Complete Astronomy Unit VII "Stars & Nebulae"

Second Unit in Astronomy B (second semester). Five Power point lessons with video links and slide sorter notes for the instructor as well as an interactive 20-question quiz/review at kahoot.it and quizizz.com are included as links in the last slide and can be used as an informal assessment and/or review for each lesson. Four interactive review programs with printable color PDF worksheets; student guidelines/notes and activities that follow each lesson in Unit VII "Stars and Nebulae." Syllabus/activators; suggested textbook assignments and an assessment folder - quizzes/keys and a Unit test (multiple choice, true/false in Easel, PDF and Word) with answer keys. Easel is an easy way to offer assessments online and is auto-graded. Graphics are included with each question in Easel. Some worksheets are based on the textbook "Astronomy Today" 8th edition.

A video worksheet folder is also included which provides the video link to youtube in the title if the DVD is not available. Worksheets include the Universe's "Search For Cosmic Clusters," "Nebulas" and "Liquid Universe" which can be used when studying the topics in this unit.

Individual lessons/programs (not assessments) can also be found separately in the AstronomyDad store.
