The Program
 
We have developed a set of computer-based inquiry tools and laboratory "experiments" aimed at high school students to promote learning of physics and chemistry with spectroscopy. By inquiry, we refer to engaging the student's prior knowledge in the process of learning new scientific content. These web pages describe the scientific content and process skills addressed by these materials. We encourage you to explore the material here. Everything is freely disseminated, either through these web pages or upon request. Educators, please visit this link for educators for a more detailed discussion of all the classroom materials that we have developed.

Our program is run by university faculty, PhD students, and high school educators with a passion for educating secondary students in science. The activities are primarily funded by the National Science Foundation which is committed to education in all areas of science and engineering, specifically through an NSF CAREER grant AST-0548180.
