Discovering New Worlds
Abstract
Since 1995, more than 100 planets have been discovered orbiting nearby stars. I will present an overview of what we've learned and speculate about exciting discoveries on the horizon. Many classroom projects have been developed to teach astronomy at the middle school through high school level. I will highlight a few favorite projects that provide a good foundation for understanding key concepts. Examples of projects using data from our website will also be presented.
