I have been teaching astronomy for several years. I have found a
laboratory series from PROJECT STAR to be wonderful material for hands-on
experiences for astronomy students. This material is available from
Learning Technologies, Inc., 59 Walden Street, Cambridge, MA 02140. I
understand that they have also put Project Star activities in a textbook.
At present I am unable to locate the name of that textbook.
I hope this helps,
