Lesson 5 - Brightness and Distance
In this lesson, we’ll talk about one of the ways that astronomers find out how far away the things they see in the sky are. We’ll also learn one of the big challenges with figuring that out by trying an experiment ourselves using flash lights at night.
Resources included with this lesson:
The Flashlight Experiment (A separate document!)
A Star Journal
Reflection Questions
