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.
A lecture of Forty-five slides on the Drake Equation provides images, pictures, information, and graphs to guide students through the variables involved in the Drake Equation: stellar and planetary formation, ecospheres, the origin of life, the possibility of intelligent life, and the technology that is needed to communicate with other civilizations are included in these slides. The Drake Equation provides an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the possibilities of communicating with intelligent life in the universe. Christopher Churchill, (Penn State U.) 2001
