PhET Interactive Simulations
PhET is a great site for playing with simulations. PhEt has simulations for all sorts of science topics. Some of the Astronomy related simulations are ones on gravity, orbits, and the light spectrum related to stars. Students can explore the variables that result in celestial body orbits. They can also explore how temperature affects the color we see in stars. PhET is a useful tool for allowing students to explore on their own. This could be used in an explore section of a 5E lesson plan.
