=Astronomy Research Project= DUE DATE: April 12-15

Choose an approved topic that fits within our Essential Question of Astronomy. Research this topic, and work with a partner to present your research to the class. __ **HC:** __ Much of the way Astronomy information is communicated to the public today is through computer software or online tools. For HC, you should choose a tool or download some software that teaches you about an aspect of astronomy that interests you. Part of the process would be to evaluate this tool, as well as using the tool in your presentation to the class. (I will also consider proposals for other HC extensions for the Astronomy project.)

//__1 page summary paper__:// This should be a “fact sheet” or summary of the most important information about your topic. Imagine something you’d get at a museum. It should have an image or graphics and highlight the information you want people to remember. **See some exemplars.** Don't forget to cite sources! You will need to turn this in as a PDF to the dropbox and print one copy for class. __//Quizlet://__ Each group will create 10 quiz questions on [|Quizlet]. These will be the question bank for the **Astronomy Quiz** for the class. (see below)

This will be 10-15 minutes. Each group will present together. Group members will receive their own grades. The presentation should **teach** the class about the topic. It **does not** have to be a lecture! You can use props, visual aides, activities, demonstrations, etc. Each person in the group should have a primary role in the presentation.

Consider the following items **//as a general guide//** when searching for material in your research: · The topic  · Relevant background material
 * THE BASICS**

· When was it discovered/developed (if applicable)?  · By whom?  · How?  · What are the current events in your topic?
 * HISTORY and CURRENT EVENTS**

· Why is this topic important? <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> · What are its primary characteristics? <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> · What is special about it (if anything)? <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> · What is the impact on the future study of science/astronomy?
 * IMPORTANCE**

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">· What is special about your topic? <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> · Extreme items (most/least, etc.) <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> · What is the most important single thing that everyone should remember about your topic?
