Material Detail
Astronomy Demonstrations
Animations of astronomical phenomena, such as tides, phases of the moon,seasons, gravity, distance. These are bare-bones animations, leaving the explanation of the material up to the teacher or text book. This approach makes the animations usable in college as well as high school and middle school. I will continue to add animations to this site.

I used this site with pre-service teachers, who designed a lesson using it.
Their fellow students then completed the lesson and evaluated their experience
with the site.
My teaching methods students found favorable results with the site. All the
students who completed the work involved in the lesson found the site usable and
educational. Overall, the site was given very high marks, and those who
designed the lesson said they would return to the site again. Thank you.

Technical Remarks:
The common complaint revolved around the videos of star formation, with mention
of the lack of a start and stop button, a restart button, and audio. Otherwise,
good marks.
