Day One Research TopicsFor this first day of the project, your goal is learn:1) Where in the electromagnetic spectrum can find your assigned region?2) What rank (1 - 7) is your assigned region for wavelength?3) What rank (1-7) is your assigned region for frequency?4) How can scientists use your assigned region to learn more about our universe? Use the following links provided by NASA and read about how they are using your assigned region of the electromagnetic spectrum...
