Student Learning Outcomes -

• A successful student will demonstrate a good understanding of how to find reliable sources of astronomy information.
• Students will be able to explain astronomical discoveries using core physical processes of astronomy.

Description -

In this honors seminar, students build upon topics covered in Astronomy lecture courses by developing a presentation, piece of writing, video, or some other creative piece to teach others about an astronomical phenomenon. The course emphasizes learning how to carry out effective background research, process that information for understanding, and refine that understanding by preparing material to explain the phenomena to others (i.e., "To teach is to learn twice over").

Course Objectives -

1. Identify reliable sources of information
2. Test one's understanding and fill in gaps
3. Break phenomena down into "minimally teachable" pieces
4. Communicate phenomena in an audience-appropriate manner

Special Facilities and/or Equipment -

Course Content (Body of knowledge) -

1. Identify reliable sources of information
1. Using the Foothill library and librarians to find information for astronomy
2. Using the internet and distinguishing between reliable and unreliable astronomy and space science sources
3. Extrapolate from known phenomena to assess the reliability of new information
4. How to properly cite references
2. Test one's understanding and fill in gaps
1. Ask "what if" questions and and figure out the answer
2. Predict outcome in alternative situations and look for evidence of those outcomes
3. Break phenomena down into "minimally teachable" pieces
1. Outline the key facts and processes of a phenomenon
2. Identify the prerequisite knowledge and skills for each of those facts and processes
3. Make a concept map integrating physical properties, processes, and observations
4. Communicate phenomena in an audience-appropriate manner
1. Use analogies or scale models to make scale and processes relatable
2. Use actions, animations, cartoons with "motion stripes," or clear descriptions to convey motion or process
3. Coach the audience in constructing their own understanding with "what if" questions and appropriate pause/feedback

Methods of Evaluation -

1. participating in the class discussion by asking and answering questions both in-person and in online discussions
2. producing a concept map and written description of an astronomical phenomenon
3. writing/drawing/recording/presenting an original honors-level presentation of a topic that includes use of elements that encourage active thought on the part of the target audience
