Grade level:6-8Subject area:scienceStandard: Understands the nature of scientific inquiry.Benchmarks: Understands the nature of scientific explanations (e.g., emphasis on evidence; use of logically consistent arguments; use of scientific principles, models, and theories; acceptance or displacement based on new scientific evidence). Knows possible outcomes of scientific investigations (e.g., some may result in new ideas and phenomena for study; some may generate new methods or procedures for an investigation; some may result in the development of new technologies to improve the collection of data; some may lead to new investigations).

Contact the author at: fraknoiandrew {at} fhda.edu This resource list includes a small selection of especially effective astronomy activities designed for K-12 classes and science projects. We focus on those activities that are either hands-on, or at least encourage students to think for themselves, and not merely follow a cookbook recipe or fill in a few blanks. Each listing has a brief summary and comments; note that these comments are the opinion of the list's compiler and are not the "official policy" of Project ASTRO or the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. The Web is now a huge, and mostly unorganized, repository of information, and we make no claim that our list is complete.

Tane's role as the creator of the night skies is told in a number of stories. Tane is said to have visited his brother Tangotango to congratulate him on the brilliance of his children - the sun, moon and stars. Tane next asked for and recieved the stars, and a dim light soon spread from Ranginui and filled our world.

Nature of Science Teaching Activities / Nature of science / Home - Science Online. The Nature of Science strand is described in the science learning area as the overarching and unifying strand.
How might this influence our teaching and our choice of teaching activities? What teaching activities will help us teach the nature of science? The teaching activities in this section provide examples for how we might adapt other activities to meet the aims of the Nature of Science strand. The Nature of Science strand has four achievement aims which are summarised as: Understanding about science, Investigating in science, Communicating in science, Participating and contributing. Rather than teaching these separately, most teaching activities are likely to involve students in more than one of these aspects. Partner resources.

Southern skies – Night sky. Southern hemisphere skies offer dazzling spectacles for night viewing, some of which cannot be seen from the northern hemisphere. Clear skies are usual over much of New Zealand, and it is possible to get fine views of the Milky Way and its neighbouring galaxies, the Magellanic Clouds. The most recognisable constellation (pattern of stars) in the sky is the Southern Cross, along with its associated features, the Jewel Box and Coal Sack.
Many of the sights that are visible from the northern hemisphere can also be seen from New Zealand. The constellations of Orion and Scorpius are prominent at certain times of the year. However, New Zealand is too far south to see Polaris, the pole star, or the Great Bear (Ursa Major). The changing night sky As the sun sets and darkness descends, a number of different features become visible in the sky: the moon, thousands of stars, sometimes one or more planets, faint hazy patches of light and dusty dark regions.

Astronomers studying space have two big problems: A lot of things in space seem invisible – they do not give out light we can see.
Scientists cannot leave the Earth to go and collect pieces of stars and galaxies to study. Using different wavelengths of light There are special telescopes and other instruments that can detect light we cannot see with our eyes. Look up into the sky at night. But there is a lot you can’t see, even with a powerful telescope, because not everything in space gives out light we can detect with our eyes. Studying stars from a distance Stars and galaxies are too far away for us to send spacecraft to collect samples to study. The light of the electromagnetic spectrum is the key to finding out about space without leaving Earth. New Zealand astronomers There are a number of astronomers in New Zealand, and on this website you can find out about how two of them use the electromagnetic spectrum to: Astrophysics – the new astronomy.
