Description:
Dennis Dawson's Out of the Classroom: Observations and Investigations in Astronomy lab manual allows readers the thrill of learning basic astronomy concepts through first hand experiences versus the traditional approach of rehashing preconceived observations and analysis done by astronomers. Readers acquire the necessary commitment to understanding basic concepts, basic experimental procedures, the concept of experimental uncertainty, and the discipline of drawing conclusions from information gained first hand.
-- Division of experiments by single-day or multi-day.
-- Handy Reference Guide to Experimental Methods covers useful topics such as applying the scientific method, how to keep an observer's log, and how to set up a lab report.
-- Exercises employ items that are easily accessible to most readers, such as cameras, binoculars, or small telescopes.
