Astronomy: General Science Lab Manual

This lab manual provides students with hands-on experience studying astronomy in a lab setting. The exercises provide instructional content for working with the software tool Stellarium, and studying various stellar bodies including the Sun, Moon, and planets, as well as variable stars and galaxies and the Milky Way. Several labs also focus on planetarium terminology, spectral analysis, Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams, and the expansion of the universe. The ten labs in this manual are printed in color and have perforated pages for students to tear out and turn in.
