Masao Sako Preface:
Our Universe is a surprisingly dynamic place. In this seminar, we will explore the motion and evolution of structures in our Universe, and what we can learn from observing the night sky. We will study the motion of the Earth, asteroids, comets, and other planets in our solar system, how they are formed, the life and death of stars, and the history of the Universe. Somewhat advanced topics, such as dark matter and dark energy, which determine how our Universe expands, will also be explored.
The seminar is appropriate for physics and other science teachers of all levels. Some topics, including the production of the elements and the evolution of stars, are also appropriate for high-school chemistry and earth science teachers. Teachers of math may also find material useful to demonstrate key competencies in measurements or scale.
