Complete Astronomy Unit IX "The Milky Way and Other Galaxies"

Fourth Unit (out of five) in Astronomy B - second semester.

Four inclusive PowerPoint lessons with short video links and slide sorter notes for the instructor; four review programs with printable color PDF worksheets; student guidelines/notes and activities that go with Unit IX "The Milky Way and Other Galaxies." Two student Internet lab projects or webquests on "Galaxies." Four student guided/textbook activities in Word. Syllabus/activators; suggested textbook assignments in Word and an assessment folder - two quizzes and a unit test (multiple choice) with answer keys in both Word and in PDF. Assessments are now available in Easel which is TPT's online and self-grading application. The latest chapter readings in PDF are included. Textbook assignments and activities are based on "Astronomy Today" 8th edition.

A video worksheet folder is included which provides the video link to youtube in the title if the DVD is not available. A kahoot.it and a quizziz.com 20-question interactive review are included at the end of each PowerPoint lesson (links are in the last slide). The 20 or so question quiz/review is lesson-specific and a fun way to check for student understanding of the material.

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