Astro Tutorials These tutorials were developed by me during my masters in science education at Montana State. Paul Robinson and John Weiss provided feedback and inspiration. The first three use Stellarium and will need to be modified for your location or software situation. They are all related (The first one I developed was the Sun & Stars). I am therefore providing a .docx file for download.

Solar Heating [.docx]
 
This last one is a thought excercise based on what types of power (chemical, gravitational) could power the sun. It was based on an old lab that we used to do at the University of Minnesota (actually burning cereal and calculating).
