Astrophysics Science Project Integrating Research and Education (ASPIRE)
The ASPIRE website has interactive online science lessons and labs that can be used by teachers in the classroom with their students. The lessons have been written by teachers while working with research scientists from the High Resolution Fly’s Eye Group at the University of Utah. By working together, this group has created a number of labs and lessons that are unique to the Internet. Lessons include:
