SpaceClick this link for a connection to the stars
Similar to Earth Science Picture of the day (EPOD), Astronomy picture of the day (APOD) provides a great opportunity to connect the classroom to the universe around us. While EPOD offers content more often suited to chemistry, biology, and earth science, APOD consistently provides content that illustrates the grandeur of physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. |
