An Introduction

This Web Page was designed for high school teachers, or educators of the same level, who are interested in teaching astronomy and cosmology to their students. The following lesson plans were designed over several months in collaboration with Professor David Spergel of the Department of Astrophysics of Princeton University and Dr. Margaret Fels, Center for Teaching and Learning at Princeton University, to enrich high school classrooms with astronomy lesson plans according to guidelines suggested by the Core Curriculum Content Standards of the State of New Jersey and by the National Science Education Standards. This page is a work in progress and from time to time pages may be under construction. In addition, since the page is still under construction your comments are appreciated (To respond see below). Also, please note that credit has been given where appropriate on page footnote.html and can be viewed through links like this: # The original motivation behind this site was the independent work of Lindsay Clark and was submitted to the Department of Astrophysics at Princeton University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The full text of the thesis is available here, in pdf format. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can download it here.
