As part of a grant from the National Science Foundation (Grant No. 9624680), and to supplement the coursework we do here at Oshkosh, I've been developing a few education tools for astronomy which can be found below. If you're interested, here be the legal bits.

Introductory astronomy activities (more to come as they are developed):

• The Photoelectric Effect (worksheet, shockwave)
• The Rotation of Jupiter (being re-written - back soon)
• The Rotation of the Sun (worksheet, shockwave)
• Spectral Classification (shockwave)
• A Color-Magnitude Diagram of the Plieades (worksheet, shockwave)
• Cluster Color-Magnitude Diagrams (shockwave)
• Galaxy Classification (shockwave)
• The Luminosity of a Quasar (being re-written - back soon)
• Hubble's Law (being re-written - back soon)

Advanced activities:

• Building your own simple model atmosphere with Mathematica (a take-home test)
• Build some better model atmospheres with the Marcs model atmosphere construction kit
• Determine the properties of a star's atmosphere from stellar spectra
• Build your own Zero-Age Main-Sequence stars
• Evolve your own stars (up to the He flash at least)

There are also some movies of various sky phenomena that I've made with the most cool sky simulation programs Voyager and Redshift.
