Our Cosmic Connection
Young, Donna L.
Science Teacher, v72 n2 p29-31 Feb 2005
To help students understand the connection that Earth and the solar system have with the cosmic cycles of stellar evolution, and to give students an appreciation of the beauty and elegance of celestial phenomena, the Chandra X-Ray Center (CXC) educational website contains a stellar evolution module that is available free to teachers. In this article, the author provides information on the module and presents the following components that the module consists of: (1) The Story of Stellar Evolution; (2) Cassiopeia A (Cas A)--The Death of a Star; (3) The Interactive Guide to Stellar Evolution; (4) Stellar Cycles Performance Task; and (5) Useful Resources. She also presents a stellar evolution activity.
