<LI> <a href="prepare">Bringing Your Class to the VLA: Maximizing the
Educational Experience</a> How to arrange guided tours of the VLA for
your class, and how to use the VLA, both before and after the tour,
as a means of bringing real-world science into classroom activities.

ASTRONOMY NOTES</a>
These notes were created by Nick Strobel for the introductory astronomy
courses he teaches. They are offered to the net as a
resource in astronomy education.

<LI><a href="http://jersey.uoregon.edu/vlab/">
Virtual Laboratory-University of Oregon</a>
To provide students with truely interactive texts, a series of
experiments has been created using Java to demonstrate the
application of this method of teaching. These experiments are meant to
be conceptual interfaces to the equations of physics
and/or represent interaction with data that simulates a real physical
experiment. These are targetted at physics classes for
non-majors where we currently have no physical lab sections due to
resource constraints.

Astronomy 202: Our Home in the Solar System</a>
From Cornell University, Spring 1997

<LI><a href="http://www.physics.brown.edu/people/bantly/phys22.html">
Physics 22</a>
This is the second semester course of Introductory Astronomy. Physics 22
concentrates on the physics of the stars and galaxies, their evolution
and cosmology. Pulsars, neutron stars, black holes, quasars, spiral
galaxies, particle physics and relativity will all be covered.

AN  ASTRONOMY  COURSE  FOR  STUDENTS USING  THE  INTERNET</a> - 
A high school course.  It is adaptable to most age and interest levels.

<LI><a href="http://www.eckerd.edu/academics/nas/chn/sitescol.html">
This list</a> is a set of links to over one hundred different
college-level astronomy courses, mostly at the "beginner"
level. These links were gathered from a search of over six hundred
institutions. (Only a few links to non-US courses are
provided but there are plans to for more in the future.) These pages
contain material of value to astronomy students and instructors alike.
Practice exams, sample quizzes, lecture notes, homework problems, lab
work, observational assignments, and study tips will all be found in
these sites. Few, if any, of the links are to just a course catalog
description.

Physics Modules & Simulations--Syracuse University [Java, VRML]</a>
This site, from the Physics department at Syracuse University, contains
a series of educational modules and simulations. Of particular interest
are the Science for the 21st Century and the VRML Gallery of Physics
sections.  Science for the 21st Century contains eight modules of 
information on topics ranging from the brain, biology, and health, 
to global climatic changes. The VRML Gallery of Physics includes 
two modules written by Rob Salgado, Electromagnetism and a Light Cone. 
The Gallery of Electromagnetism features 15 sections of principles 
including unit vectors, charged spheres, Faraday Law, and line integrals. 
The Light Cone is an introduction to relativity. Included in the module 
are an introduction and sections on primeval, special, and general relativity.

<LI><a href="http://nix.nasa.gov/">NIX: NASA Image Exchange</a>
NIX contains over 300,000 National Aeronautics and Space Administration
images from eight research centers. Users can search the database via
three methods. The first method, Browse, allows users to search through 
seven categories of images including aeronautics, information systems, and
space.  In the second method, Options, users select which research centers'
databases to examine and the maximum allowable number of hits, images to
display, pages, and response time.  Research centers linked to NIX
include Ames, Johnson, and Langley. The third method is a search interface 
that supports Boolean AND/OR/NOT searching.
