Discovering the Universe: From the Stars to the Planetsengages students with an inquiry-based exploration of the universe and the scientific process. Developed with a "big picture" approach, the text first explains how the stars, the galaxies, and the entire universe formed, and then discusses planets and other components of our solar system. Students follow this natural conceptual progression within a proven learning method designed to address misconceptions and build a deep understanding of science and the world around us.
