Excerpt:
From Stargazers to Starships ( Stargazers )
A collection of about sixty linked files, forming a self-contained course at the high school level on (1) elementary astronomy (pre-telescope), (2) Newtonian mechanics (3) Spaceflight and spacecraft. The material is presented in a historical framework with many side excursions and incidental connections, with many outside links. Also contains a 9-section "Math refresher", a section for the guidance of teachers, a template of a sundial with explanations, glossary and timeline.
It is an attempt to create a high-school curriculum which makes as much use of space and spaceflight as possible.
Annotation:
This site is a large list of annotated links about the history of astronomy. The sites represented here offer a wide range of materials from digital archives to a high school curriculum for applied physics with space flight as its model.
