Week 1
Lesson 1
Session 1: Origin of Our Solar System
In our first class, we will learn about how our Solar System formed and work on the Slooh Quest "Are We Alone."
 Week 2
Lesson 2
Session 2: Rocky Planets and Their Moons
In this session, we will discuss the composition of rocky planets and moons. We will also work on the Slooh Quest "Apollo Astronauts."
 Week 3
Lesson 3
Session 3: Comets, Meteors, Asteroids, Oh My!
In session 3, we will learn about comets, meteors and asteroids. We will also work on the Slooh Project "Tracking Near-Earth Asteroids."
 Week 4
Lesson 4
Session 4: The Interstellar Medium
In this session, we will explore the 3 domains of space, the space between planets & galaxies and famous nebulae. We will also begin working on the Slooh Quest "Messier Challenge."
 Week 5
Lesson 5
Session 5: Universal Law of Gravitation
In session 5, we'll learn Newton's Law of Gravitation and apply mathematical concepts. 
 Week 6
Lesson 6
Session 6: How Do We Classify Stars?
In this class, we will investigate classification of stars. This session investigates the famous map of stars known as the HR Diagram. The map categorizes different types of stars based on temperature & color. We will also work on the Slooh Quest "Life & Death of Stars."
 Week 7
Lesson 7
Session 7: Escape Velocity 
In session 7, we will learn about the concepts of escape velocity and how it relates to the universal law of gravitation. We will continue working on the Slooh Quest "Messier Challenge."
 Week 8
Lesson 8
Session 8: Black Body Radiation: Stefan-Boltzmann Law, Wein Law
In this class, we will investigate black body radiation, including Stefan-Boltzmann Law and Wein Law. We will continue working on the Slooh Quest "Messier Challenge."
 Week 9
Lesson 9
Session 9: Black Body Radiation: Planck's Law & Planck Energy
In session 9, we will continue investigating black body radiation, including Planck's Law & Planck Energy.
We will continue working on the Slooh Quest "Messier Challenge."
 Week 10
Lesson 10
Session 10: Kepler's 3rd Law and Distances Between Stars
This session introduces students to Kepler's 3rd Law and we'll learn about distances between stars. We will also continue working on the Slooh Quest "Messier Challenge."
 Week 11
Lesson 11
Session 11: How to Build a Galaxy
