Astronomy in-class activity: OBAFGKM poetry slam

Astronomy 10, Summer Session 2007
Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA

Astronomy 10 learning goal Q8.5

Students were instructed to use at least OBAFGKM, and/or part or all of the additional OBAFGKMRNSC or OBAFGKMLT extensions to individually write an original, coherent and an appropriate (nothing worse than "PG-13" rated!) mnemonic, and to give a rousing reading of their OBAFGKM mnemonic poem for the class.

Some favorites from this session:

Orlando Bloom Asks For Greek-Killing Movies Like Troy.
--A. B.

Our Bats Are Fruit-Gobbling Kind Mammals, Really, Not Scary Creatures.
--S. L.

Oh Boy, Astronomy Finally Gets Kickin', Man.
--F. N.
