Lab Materials Developed with Support from the NSF
Appalachian State has developed many instructional activities with support provided by the National Science Foundation. We will be adding links to this page that may be used to acquire the instructional material, including lab exercises and images.
Intro Students
Catch
Supernovae!
Students
in Dr. Pollock's Introductory Astronomy lab captured images of super-novae
in two external galaxies. See the montages of images on the "Latest
Supernove" web site for supernova

2003bo in galaxy NGC 3190
Students in Dr.Gray's section of the course obtained the
spectra below of stars using STV
cameras and a simple spectrograph setup. Click the image for a large

Lab exercises include outdoor projects using the telescopes on our rooftop deck, indoor activites done in the classroom, and more advanced work done wit the telescope in the dome.
