About this course
A hands-on approach to the scientific method, using astronomical data and equipment. Divided into small lab groups, students will do experiments and observing projects about a range of astronomical topics, including the motions and geometry of the solar system, patterns in the behavior of the sun, and skeptical examination of astronomy-related misinformation. Students will use data from modern telescopes to measure and make inferences about the properties of astronomical objects, and write about their findings in ways suitable for communication with the general public.

The other FHDA college
The district declares these courses cross-listed with ASTR 10L. That is a district equivalence, recorded in the colleges’ own course data — it is not an ASSIST articulation, and whether it satisfies a particular transfer requirement is a separate question shown on the pathway pages.
