Astronomy workshop.
Astronomy is the science that deals with the study of the celestial bodies of the universe, including planets and their satellites, comets and meteoroids, stars and interstellar matter, systems of dark matter, stars, gas, and dust called galaxies, and galaxy clusters; so he studies their movements and the phenomena linked to them.
We will meet the explorers of the universe such as Ptolemy, Coopernico or Kepler and Galileo and their visions of the universe through a video
.
We will study 11 Apollo 11 mission and who first stepped on the moon on June 11, 1969 (Neil Armstron).
Goal to achive:
- To kwow how it is the universe and parts.
- To make objets related with the sky.
- To travel with Stellarium.
Contents to be developed:
- Sun, stars, mythology, travelling, universe…
Methodology:
We will use a telescope and see their types:
Refractors: They are based on the optical principle of refraction. The Kepler configuration is the one used in this type of telescope.
Reflectors: Invented by Newton, they are based on the optical principle of reflection. The rays coming from the observed object are directed to the eyepiece, this time by means of two mirrors
An instrument that uses the shadow given by the sun to indicate the time.
They can build it by following the template below.
Other clocks:
Water, sand or fire. They can make an hourglass by joining two bottles and filling them with sand. They can also make an hourglass with any two cans like the one in the figure.
Construction of an astrolabe.
The word astrolabe etymologically means "the one who looks for stars." The astrolabe is an instrument that allows you to determine the position of any star.
Necessary materials: - - A transporter.
-A soda straw
-A cord
-A weight
Process:
- Visualize the star through the straw.
- View the angle on the protractor.
- The compass is an instrument that serves as orientation, by means of a magnetized needle that points to the magnetic North.
- Necessary materials:
- A cork
- A magnetized needle
- Or a magnet
- A full glass of water
Process:
- We place the needle on the cork
- The needle will move north-south
Space travel with Estellarium.
We can also take a trip to space with the Stellarium program.
THE SUN: It is a star, (it has its own light). It is the center of our solar system. All the planets in our solar system, including Earth, revolve around the Sun.
At the time we will carry out the workshops, the sun is located in the South-West. With this program we will be able to visualize where the moon is by removing the atmosphere as we would see in the photograph.
Later we would visit the planets, comets, asteroids, meteorites, stars ... and all in real time.
There are many myths and legends about the constellations, so we could make a representation about some of them.

The telescope that we will use is of the reflector type, which can be used at night.
Its operation is as follows:
1.- Balance it with the weights horizontally.
2.- Graduate the geographical position. Badajoz 39º
3.- Move in ascension and decline. 15th is one hour.
The workshop the following activities can be carried out:
Sundial.
Sun clock.
