This lesson plan uses logarithmic plotting to show the power of a straight
line in mathematics, science, and engineering. Students will use the slopes
of various curves plotted on log-log graph paper to classify stellar objects
as binary stars, supernovae, or active galaxies.The data used in this lesson
were obtained from X-ray astronomy satellites.
