9730351 Gould A network of automated telescopes that can be controlled from the classroom may greatly enhance the teaching of middle and high school physical and Earth science. The investigations emphasize practical understanding of core concepts of motion, light and color, thermodynamics, and size and shape. Students guide the telescopes and have ownership of the images and data provided. They are encouraged to engage in inquiry-driven student projects share data, enter into informal collaborations among students and between students and scientists, and communicate and publish their results. The investigations move teachers toward more effective practice by engaging them in discovery-based activities with their students. Curriculum developers learn about effective use of on-line scientific instruments and collaborations. Evaluation determines the changes in students' learning and teacher practice.

小行星9730351 一个可以从教室控制的自动望远镜网络可能会大大提高初中和高中物理和地球科学的教学。调查强调运动，光和颜色，热力学，尺寸和形状的核心概念的实际理解。 学生引导望远镜，并拥有所提供的图像和数据的所有权。 鼓励他们参与调查驱动的学生项目，分享数据，在学生之间以及学生和科学家之间进行非正式合作，并交流和发表他们的成果。 这些调查使教师与学生一起参与以发现为基础的活动，从而更有效地进行实践。 课程开发人员学习如何有效地使用在线科学仪器和合作。 评价决定着学生学习和教师实践的变化。
