Often students have difficulty understanding the connections that must be made between old and new concepts. This curriculum is designed to lead AP Physics students through this process with gamma ray bursts. Students will participate in various discussions, demonstrations, exercises and activities that lead them through universe basics, life cycles of stars, black holes, the electromagnetic spectrum, and they will learn about various NASA observatories. Ultimately, this will result in a better understanding of how astrophysicists have come to understand the gamma ray burst. This series of lessons was created for the three to four weeks after the AP Physics exam. The curriculum was developed through gathering resources from various scientific organizations, developing new ideas and speaking with scientists at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The result is a manual of lesson plans, activities and answer keys for teachers to use in their own classrooms.
