About the Course
Explore the universe through engaging experiments designed to enhance understanding of celestial phenomena. Begin by building a model of the solar system to grasp the scale and structure of planetary distances and sizes using balls, string, and markers. Next, create a simple spectroscope with a cardboard to investigate star light spectra, learning about spectroscopy's role in analyzing star composition and movement. Simulate the gravitational effects of black holes by spinning water in a bowl, illustrating space-time bending and matter influence. Lastly, detect cosmic rays with a cloud chamber composed of dry ice and alcohol, revealing the interaction of high-energy particles from space with our planet. Each experiment offers a hands-on approach to understanding complex astronomical concepts.
