ASTR-114 Elementary Astronomy Lab
In this course students will acquire elementary observational, measurement, and experimental experiences in astronomy. Students will utilize the metric system to measure given objects, make a simple telescope, plot the moon's orbit from phase photos, identify spectral lines, use a microcomputer for simulations and CAI, make and record observations of the sunset location and moon's phases for several weeks, etc. Experiments will be performed to demonstrate scientific concepts used in astronomy. At least one night time observation is required.
