Science Teaching and Astronomy Research Synthesized (STARS)

该项目正在开发并旨在出版一套广泛的实践活动(主要但不限于天文学)，将当前的科学研究纳入适合非科学家的普通科学课程或标准天文学入门课程的模块，许多学生报读该课程以满足他们的普通教育科学要求。在这些活动中，学生们分析经过充分处理的数据，即使是那些不是理科专业的人也可以利用这些数据得出结论。虽然有些活动只有一节课，但另一些活动范围更广，持续了几节课

This project is developing and aims to publish an extensive set of hands-on activities (mostly but not exclusively in astronomy) that incorporate current science research into modules suitable for use in a general science course for nonscientists or in the standard introductory astronomy course in which many students enroll to satisfy their general education science requirement. In these activities, students analyze data that has been sufficiently well-processed that even those who are not science majors can use the data to draw conclusions. While some of the activities only take one class period, others are more extensive and extend over several class periods
