Study Guides for “Astronomy: A Self-Teaching Guide” (Moche): Ch. 01-07

Created by

Mr McNeely

I use Dinah Moche's popular work "Astronomy: A Self-Teaching Guide" as a textbook for my elective high school Astronomy class. While teaching Astronomy, I prepared PowerPoint slides to accompany each chapter that I use from the book. I offered these teaching slides for free as a service to the TpT community. I also created study guide handouts for chapters 01-07 of Moche’s book. The study guides can serve as “guided notes” for the PowerPoint slides. They include questions, diagrams, and vocabula

Concept Compare: Why Does the Sun Shine? Thermonuclear Fusion! (p-p and CNO)

Created by

Astronomy, Chemistry, Physics

This Concept Comparison of Thermonuclear Fusion contrasts proton-proton (p-p) chain reactions, and the "cold" carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycles. Help Ss communicate scientific ideas about the way stars produce elements over their life cycle. Emphasis is on the way nucleosynthesis, and therefore the different elements created, varies as a function of the mass of a star and the stage of its lifetime. As cosmologist Carl Sagan famously said, “We are made of star stuff.” And we literally are! We a

Question Exploration: How Did the Moon Form? GIANT IMPACT!

Created by

What are the violent origins of the Moon? The most widely accepted scenario for the formation of the Earth–Moon system involves a dramatic collision between the early Earth and some other cosmic body, with the present-day Moon thought to have coalesced from the debris ejected by a giant impact. This Question Exploration helps Ss explore the Giant Impact Theory of lunar formation.The first FRAME is a concept comparison among our Moon Luna, Mars' moons Phobos and Deimos, and the six largest natura
