Sunspot Science Lesson Plan
Two sunspots seen during the period of February 19-20, 2013. These two sunspots are part of the same system and are over six Earths across

Analyze sunspots on NASA’s SOHO coronagraph images to make meaning of cyclical patterns using the terms period and frequency. This activity is appropriate for high school and university introductory physics and astronomy courses. It can be adapted for use in middle school.
This resource includes a Digi Kit, which is a web-based interactive lab that blends physics, geometry, and astronomy as students build and use a physical model to explore how scientists study sunspots.
