   Purpose: 
To investigate the chemistry of stars, nebula, planets, and other celestial bodies. This activity will help the learner understand and appreciate the integration of  the sciences of astronomy and chemistry.

   Your Tasks: 

There are two categories of assignments:  discovery sheets and projects. In completing a discovery sheet, you are to use the suggested Internet resources to answer questions on several topics. In completing projects, you will create your own product that teaches a cosmic chemistry topic. You will be able to select the type of "product"; these include: making a poster, developing a web page, or developing a Power Point presentation.
