The Astronomy Center has provided educational resources to introductory astronomy educators since 2003. Over the past 20 years, the rapid pace of discovery has rendered some of our linked resources obsolete. Thus, the Astronomy Center will be decommissioned on March 1, 2022. Our highest quality resources will be retained on ComPADRE.org.

This collection of questions and resources covers concepts on the Light and Spectra Concept Inventory. The questions are designed to be used for in-class student engagement activities. Topics include properties of waves, the EM spectrum, Doppler Shift. the luminosity of stars and its dependence on temperature and radius.

This is part of a larger collection of similar astronomy modules from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. This entire collection covers most of the topics found in most undergraduate introductory astronomy courses.
