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 web page provides the lecture notes for an overview of Kepler's laws. It includes historical notes and related classroom resources such as applications, problems, and teacher's resources. The page is keyed and linked to appropriate sections of "From Stargazers to Starships," an extensive site for physics and astronomy education.
