•  CERES
Through funding from NASA, faculty at Montana State University and classroom teachers from across the nation have developed an extensive library of on-line and interactive K-12 science education materials for teaching astronomy. Closely aligned with the NRC National Science Education Standards, these web based lessons make maximum use of exciting on-line NASA resources, data, and images. In addition to classroom-ready materials using contemporary teaching strategies, CERES has developed several on-line NASA data search engines and two graduate level distance learning courses, available over the internet to K-12 teachers.
• The Astronomy Workshop
The Astronomy Workshop was created by Dr. Douglas P. Hamilton and Mike Asbury. They have applied Java programming to allow the viewer to observe and manipulate orbital motion. This is a rich site with many options. Among these are: Astronomy for beginners, Solar System Viewers, Sloar System Calculations, Working with Orbits, and Orbital Simulations. I wish this had been availabe when I was an undergrad astronomy student! Great interactive site. Well done Doug and Mike.
