We Offer Courses in the Following Areas
• Astronomy
Project CLEA -- CONTEMPORARY LABORATORY EXPERIENCES IN ASTRONOMY -- develops laboratory exercises that illustrate modern astronomical techniques using digital data and color images. They are suitable for high school and college classes at all levels, but come with defaults set for use in introductory astronomy classes for non-science majors. Typical projects include 1) The Revolution of the Moons of Jupiter 2) Rotation of Mercury by Doppler Effect 3) The period of Rotation of the Sun etc.
