Abstract: |
Utilizing the history of discoveries enhances students’ understanding of science and the nature of science. We have incorporated the history of modern cosmology into the context of a variety of topics taught in upper-level high school and Astro 101 courses through Cosmic Times, a suite of curriculum support materials. We describe here these materials and their applications to two specific examples of topics taught in Astro 101. |
