• Students do research with the Hubble Space Telescope: For the first time ever, K-12 classrooms used this unique optical telescope by deciding what astronomical bodies to study, watching while the satellite is prepared to capture their data, and then interpreting the scientific significance of their observations.
• Collaborative Weather Activity in which students measured local weather conditions and shared their data with each other.
• Introduction to Image Processing Lessons help you in activities that let your students manipulate real planet images, replicating the actions of professional astronomers and point you to freely available software.
