This poster will describe a new set of materials from the ClassAction project focusing on light and spectra. We will identify the concepts covered in the Light and Spectroscopy Concept Inventory (LSCI) which include the electromagnetic spectrum, Doppler shift, Wien's Law, Stefan-Boltzmann Law, and Kirchhoff's Laws. We will then specifically address how these concepts are targeted by the questions and resources of the ClassAction module.
ClassAction is a collection of materials designed to enhance the metacognitive skills of college and high school introductory astronomy students by promoting interactive engagement and providing rapid feedback. The main focus is dynamic peer instruction questions that can be projected in the classroom. Instructors have the capability to recast these questions into alternate permutations based on their own preferences and formative feedback from the class. The questions can be easily selected from a FLASH computer database and are accompanied by outlines, graphics, and simulations which the instructor can utilize to provide feedback. These materials are publicly available at http://astro.unl.edu and are funded by NSF grant #0404988.
