Abstract
A new teacher's guide in the Great Exploration in Math and Science series, titled “Invisible Universe” addresses teaching approaches for the subject area of the electromagnetic spectrum and the sources and detectors needed for different wavelengths. This guide contains inquiry-oriented activities about waves, different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, and the astronomical discoveries that can be made at each wavelength. As such it represents an integrated approach for this important optics subject matter area. Although the guide is written for teachers teaching grades 6-8 the activities can be used for high school and even college students.
