Lessons
Since 1997, ASPIRE has
been creating interactive online science lessons
and labs to be used by teachers in the classroom
with their students. These lessons have been written
by teachers, created by web-developers and programmers,
while working with research scientists from the
High Resolution Fly’s Eye Group at the University
of Utah. This collaborative effort has produced
a body of labs and lessons unique to the Internet.
