“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” (Ps 19:1) In this high school level astronomy course, we will study all the celestial objects of our solar system, as well as stars, galaxies, and space travel. We will learn about the physical laws that govern the celestial objects, and gain practical knowledge such as how to determine one’s location using the stars in the night sky. We will also study some historical background to understand the academic and investigative paths taken to gain our current understanding of the universe. Since astronomy is an observational science, there are multiple observational lab exercises integrated throughout the course. These lab exercises will be a combination of online computer simulations of experiments, in-class data analysis using observational data provided, and at-home experiments and observations conducted by the students using common objects and materials.
