Chandra X-Ray Observatory: #2-3 Stellar Evolution - Cassiopeia A Timeline Story
Grade Level: 5-8, 9-12
Short Description: This article tells the story of the death of a giant star. It is written from a historical perspective, interwoven with the progression of astronomy-related events and technology that have given us the knowledge we have about stellar evolution.
Chandra X-Ray Observatory: #3-1 Variable Stars: Stellar Heartbeats
Grade Level: 5-8, 9-12
Short Description: Students will study data about the magnitude of a star and compare it to the Julian Date to see if there is a correlation between the two
Chandra X-Ray Observatory: #3-2 Variable Stars: Variable Stars in Cygnus
Grade Level: 9-12
Short Description: Students will study data about the magnitude of a star and compare it to the Julian Date to see if there is a correlation between the two.
Chandra X-Ray Observatory: #4 Imaging - De-Coding Starlight: From Pixels to Images
Grade Level: 5-8, 9-12
Short Description: This activity will take students "gently" through the steps of data and image processing with actual data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Students will develop that data shown in the image, and also, the false colors used to display that image.
Chandra X-Ray Observatory: #6-1 Electromagnetic Spectrum -EMR Pasta
Grade Level: 9-12
Short Description: Students use different types of pasta to create a combined model/display. They will use the pasta as analogies to explain the principal classification of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Chandra X-Ray Observatory: #6-2 Electromagnetic Spectrum - Oh Say Can You See?
Grade Level: 9-12
Short Description: Students investigate the electromagnetic radiation spectrum in their immediate environment. Using a 1-meter cubed space, each team will use three portions of the electromagnetic radiation to map the space contrast and combine the information from each portion of the spectrum.
Chandra X-Ray Observatory: #6-3 Electromagnetic Spectrum - Signals from the Cosmos
Grade Level: 9-12
Short Description: Students imagine that they are astrophysicists working on the Chandra project. They need to interpret the information given to them and determine what it means. They may present the information in three different ways.
Chandra X-Ray Observatory: #7-1 Supernova Remnants - The Crab through Time
Grade Level: 9-12
Short Description: Students will write a story, including pictures, bringing a Chinese, an Arab, and a Native American astronomer from the year 1054 together with a modern astronomer from the Chandra project to tell about the Crab Nebula.
Chandra X-Ray Observatory: #7-2 Supernova Remnants - Point of View
Grade Level: 9-12
Short Description: Students combine different images of a supernova to try and provide a rich picture of the event.
Chandra X-Ray Observatory: #8 Stars - Stellar Cycles
Short Description: Students put slides in order that show the stages in the life cycle of a star from birth to death. They will write a short description of each stage that describes that stage in the life cycle.
