An all-new collection of first-rate experiments for science students Janice VanCleave's A+ Projects in Astronomy will inspire junior high and highschool students to explore the amazing world of astronomy and turn their own ideas into stellar science fair projects. Students will inquire into the mysteries of the universe, solar system, and celestial bodies, while studying the true movements of the sun, the apparent magnitude of the stars, orbital eccentricity, meteors and artificial satellites, and much more. Following the successful format of the other VanCleave A+ Project books, each topic discussed is accompanied by a sample experiment followed by questions and suggestions to encourage independent investigation by students. Once again, the popular author hands students the keys to science fair success.
