This Digi-Kit has resources on exoplanets including a lesson plan, simulation model, observing exoplanets, tutorials, tools, background and exoplanet news. It was created with the support of a subcontract from the NASA Heliophysics Education Consortium to Temple University and the AAPT, with the goal of promoting inter-disciplinary exploration that integrates physics with space science in a format that blends modeling, analysis of authentic data, and pattern recognition in a large-scale system.
