Study Guides for “Astronomy: A Self-Teaching Guide” (Moche): Ch. 01-07
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)
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 Explore: What Methods Measure Ultra Space Deep Distances? Parallax
This Question Exploration asks the Essential Question about cosmic distances: What Methods Do Astronomers Use to Measure Ultra Deep Space Distances? (from radar and parallax, to standard candles and Tully-Fisher Relationship used to measure distances to galaxies).Included are two activities on the scale of the universe for student assessment to be used as a warm up or after class review. The first is a classroom formation line-up, the other is a two-inch universe modeling about scale and ratios.

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