Cool Wiki
The Cool
Wiki is a resource designed to provide a place for NITARP teachers,
students, and scientists to interact and share the materials they've
developed, work on new materials, and work on current projects. The wiki
also provides a resource for new teachers, both those who are part of NITARP
and those not in the program, to learn how to use the
materials we've developed. The wiki is a dynamic place, constantly
changing and growing. Regardless of whether or not you are part of
NITARP, you can still learn something from the wiki!

Interacting Binary Star System Activity
Make a physical 3-D model of an interacting binary star system using light bulbs, meter, and a solar cell that will
enable students to actively measure and record the luminosities of the system in different orientations, thus simulating
real interacting binary star systems.
Binary Star Model
Make a physical model of a binary star system that demonstrates the components of which it is made,
including the accretion disk.
