Galaxies, Other Objects and the Universe – This lesson package includes the lesson (student and teacher versions of the Power Point), SIX videos, a video worksheet and a student lesson handout as a word document. The Power Point is fun and applicable with SIX videos embedded into the Power Point and many opportunities for inquiry-based learning and discussion. Designed for Middle/Secondary classes but can easily be adapted to fit an Elementary classroom.
The minds-on inquiry activities are meant to breakdown student misconceptions and help guide them to the correct concepts.

The student version of the power point contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.
