Description: The course will examine the structure and evolution of stars, including the Sun, formation of galaxies, structure of the Milky Way galaxy and other galaxies, history of the Universe, and formation of the universe. II. Student Learning Outcomes: 1. 2. 3. 4. III. Explain the evolution of stars and how it applies to the Sun. Describe the theories of formation of galaxies. Determine the structure of the Milky Way, Local Group galaxies and other galaxies. Summarize the history of formation of the universe and its future Lessons and Topics Competency 1: Explore the evolution of low mass and high mass stars from birth to death. Objective 1: Compare the steps of formation, fusion processes and distinctive deaths of starts of different mass. Lesson 1: Properties of stars Topic 1: Describing stars in the sky Topic 2: Formation of stars in molecular clouds Topic 3: The lives of stars of all masses Topic 4: Star death and remnants Topic Mastery: Describe the steps in the life of a 1 solar mass stars and contrast them with the steps in the life of a 10 solar mass star. Also focus on the differences in the fusion processes of low vs. high mass stars. Competency 2: Investigate the formation and differences of the different kinds of galaxies. Effective Fall 2012 Objective 1: Evaluate the lives of galaxies from formation to star production and evolution by collision with other galaxies. Lesson 1: Galactic Evolution Topic 1: The Milky Way Galaxy Topic 2: Formation of Galaxies Topic 3: Active Galactic Nuclei Topic Mastery: Based on the Hubble tuning fork compared the properties of the different classes of galaxies and their stellar populations. Competency 3: Explore the Big Bang theory and its implications for the universe today. Objective 1: Describe the steps in the Big Bang and how they shaped the universe we see today. Lesson 1: The Universe Topic 1: Cosmology as a science Topic 2: Formation and evolution of the Universe Topic 3: Hubble’s Law Topic 4: The end of the Universe Topic Mastery: Download the Appreciating Hubble at Hyper Speed app online. Use it to obtain data from the Hubble Ultra Deep field to create you own Hubble diagram and derive the Hubble Law of expansion. Effective Fall 2012
