A study of the celestial sphere and the relations between the apparent motions of the sun, moon, and planets with respect to the stars. Emphasis is placed on how to locate and identify bright stars, constellations, and planets in the night sky. Discusses and demonstrates methods for including astronomy in the science curriculum. Identifies sources for obtaining free and inexpensive astronomy materials. This course will focus on the Big Bang, the modern version of creation, a topic of fascination since the dawn of humanity.
