Calendar Scavenger Hunt

Developed by Beth Thomas. Here is a worksheet for exploring various ways of measuring time: worksheet (pdf) and answer key (pdf)

Interacting Binary Star System Activity

Developed by Beth Thomas. This completely self-contained activity was originally designed for a Spitzer Teacher project (from round 3). Download the pdf here.

Simulation of an Eclipse of WZ Sge Activity

Developed by Beth Thomas. This completely self-contained activity was originally designed for a Spitzer Teacher project (from round 3). Download the pdf here.
