Description
A student-active introduction to astronomy, emphasizing inquiry learning so students will clearly understand our universe and the scientific method. Within-text and end-of-chapter questions check understanding of concepts and require the student to think critically through astronomy-based problems. 'Nature of Science' and 'Detectives on the Case' sections in each chapter encourage students to take on the role of a scientist and so develop an understanding of how scientific progress is made, leading students through a chain of arguments of forming and testing hypotheses, in the context of specific astronomical topics. By focusing on key topics, the student is able to develop a deeper understanding of the core areas of astronomy. Math is used to make intuitive points and kept simple by using a two-track system to first describe the logic of the calculation followed by a more detailed example. Simple illustrations support the text and step students through concepts visually. Student-active learning with an emphasis on inquiry learning focuses on how scientific theories are developed and regularly involves the student in the chain of arguments that lead to them Focuses on core topics, so that a deeper understanding of the Solar System and the Universe can be developed 'Detectives on the Case' and 'Nature of Science' sections acquaint students with science as a way of thinking, introduced throughout chapters in the context of specific astronomical topics
