Comment on this resource
This lesson plan is part of the Center for Educational Resources (CERES), a series of web-based astronomy lessons created by a team of master teachers, university faculty, and NASA researchers. In this activity, students view images of galaxies and develop a classification scheme. They then compare and contrast their scheme with that developed by Edwin Hubble. This lesson contains expected outcomes for students, materials, background information, follow-up questions, and assessment procedures.
