This booklet is part of an American Astronomical Society curriculum project designed to provide teaching materials to teachers of secondary school chemistry, physics, and earth science. The following topics concerning supernovae are included: the outburst as observed and according to theory, the stellar remnant, the nebular remnant, and a summary of some of the unsolved puzzles. Suggested student projects are given, with several levels of difficulty, so that the teacher may choose material appropriate for the particular class. (MH)
