PHYSC 168 - The Solar System Lab

1 credits

Students will learn how to think like a scientist- they will collect and analyze data from a variety of solar system data sources to answer research questions. Topics/data sources include the characteristics of planets and moons in our solar system, impact cratering, planets around stars other than the Sun (exoplanets), geologic features on the moon, and more.

Notes: This is an optional 1-credit lab to accompany PHYSC 167 The Solar System - Lecture. Students who need a science course with a lab should register for both PHYSC 167 The Solar System - Lecture and this lab course; students who do not need or want a lab should register for only PHYSC 167 The Solar System - Lecture.
