ASTRONOMY SUPER PACK - Standard Deviants (7 Programs)
Your class will love examining the findings of Plato, Ptolemy, Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, Galileo, and other "stars" of the astronomy world. This series also covers the essential concepts of astronomy: gravity, the light spectrum, Earth’s magnetic field, the solar system, the sun, Kepler’s Law, the universal law of gravitation, the Doppler Effect, and much more!
The DVD Super Pack contains Modules 1 through 6 Plus companion CD-ROM.
1. The Basics DVD- The Standard Deviants blast off into space with a look at the basic terminology you need to know to be an expert star-searcher. Then they'll take you back in time to the beginnings of astronomy, where you'll meet the guys who first began to study the stars, like Plato, Ptolemy, Copernicus and Kepler.
2. From Galileo to Gravity DVD- Meet the giants of astronomy, like Kepler, Galileo and Newton. Then the Standard Deviants tackle one of Newton's favorite subjects; the awesome power of gravity! See what happens when two objects are attracted to each other.
3. The Light Spectrum DVD- The Standard Deviants will help you to see the light--the light spectrum, that is. They'll show you all the properties of light, including the shifty Doppler Effect and how telescopes work.
4. The Earth and the Moon DVD- The Standard Deviants take you on a tour of that big ball of mud we call home: the Earth. It's got magnetic fields, atmospheric layers and more stats than a baseball player. They'll also take a look at the Earth's little buddy, the Moon.
5. The Solar System DVD- The Standard Deviants sail through the solar system and meet the planets. There are the terrestrial planets; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars; and there are the Jovian planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. And don't forget the little fella, Pluto.
6. The Sun DVD- The Standard Deviants take you into the center of our solar system: the Sun. We wouldn't be here without this great big ball of fire, so come and see all the properties of our little star, like hydrogen and helium, sunspots and solar flares.
