Discovering Astronomy

新课程将被开发，其目标是：(1)引导学生通过实际的天文经验来探索他们周围的世界；(2)将科学呈现为一个由人类探索和解释而设计的谨慎过程。将购买小型望远镜。将购买连接远程新3.5米研究望远镜的设备。学生将使用个人电脑模拟天空的变化。

A new curriculum will be developed whose goals are: (1) to lead students to inquire into the world around them through hands-on astronomical experiences and (2) to present science as a cautious process devised by and for human exploration and interpretation. Small telescopes will be purchased. Equipment to connect to a remote new 3.5-m research telescope will be purchased. Personal computers will be used to allow students to simulate the changes of the sky.
