Galileo
used
thought
experiments
to
test
many
assumptions,
including
the
notion
that
heavy
objects
fall
more
quickly
than
lighter
objects
when
they
are
dropped.
Lacking
access
to
either
a
vacuum
chamber
or
a
planetary
body
that
has
no
atmosphere,
he
nevertheless
correctly
predicted
that
all
falling
objects
would
accelerate
at
the
same
rate
in
the
absence
of
air
resistance.

In this activity students study various features of the Sun in order to understand how the Sun varies. Students will learn that the Sun contains many complex features and compare this to their own prior knowledge about the Sun. Features studied include sunspots, plages, solar flares, prominences, filaments, the corona, helmet streamers, and coronal holes.
