Brief Description: Located at vast distances and producing more energy than a thousand Milky Way galaxies, quasars appear star-like through all but the largest telescopes. Quasars are now known to be the most luminous of the active galactic nuclei or AGN. Because of their great distances from us, we are unable to directly observe the structure of quasars. Astronomers rely on studies of how quasars' light levels change over time to provide information about where their energy is produced and infer what they might look like. This CI-TEAM research scenario will introduce PAEMST teachers to materials being developed for a teacher professional development program that uses the START Collaboratory to bring cyberinfrastructure databases, tools and resources into the classroom. Astronomy research scenarios are being created for the START Collaboratory, an NSF-funded (STI-0334168) initiative to engage high school students in authentic science research. These research scenarios are being further developed to be used in a high school teacher professional development initiative funded by an NSF CI-TEAM Demonstration Project grant (SCI-053746 bring cyberinfrastructure tools and resources into the classroom.

Brief Description: This project aims to create a convenient method for an administrator to get input from his staff through the use of on-line surveys. The administrator would be able to float new ideas on a trial balloon basis. Staff input would indicate whether or not these ideas would have a chance to fly. Administrators would be able to use this information to make decisions on which initiatives to pursue or not. It is important to be able to get teachers to buy into responding to the surveys. This is done much more easily because of the convenience using the internet to click their responses.

Brief Description: Cannibalism on galactic scale. Two galaxies hurling silently through space feel the other's gravitational pull long before contact. Forces akin to the tides on Earth tug at and distort the galaxies cores as they continue to rotate. Spiral arms can be ripped apart or explode into a burst of blue lights as new star are nudged into existence by waves of energy. Not only are these interacting galaxies beautiful to look at, but also they hold many clues to the birth and death of galaxies themselves. Use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Hands-On Universe image processing software to look for your own interacting galaxy and work with astronomers to read their stories. Contribute what you find to the body of knowledge that seeks to solve the mystery of the lives of galaxies.

Brief Description: Cannibalism on galactic scale. Two galaxies hurling silently through space feel the other's gravitational pull long before contact. Forces akin to the tides on Earth tug at and distort the galaxies cores as they continue to rotate. Spiral arms can be ripped apart or explode into a burst of blue lights as new star are nudged into existence by waves of energy. Not only are these interacting galaxies beautiful to look at, but also they hold many clues to the birth and death of galaxies themselves. Use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Hands-On Universe image processing software to look for your own interacting galaxy and work with astronomers to read their stories. Contribute what you find to the body of knowledge that seeks to solve the mystery of the lives of galaxies.

Brief Description: Located at vast distances and producing more energy than a thousand Milky Way galaxies, quasars appear star-like through all but the largest telescopes. Quasars are now known to be the most luminous of the active galactic nuclei or AGN. Because of their great distances from us, we are unable to directly observe the structure of quasars. Astronomers rely on studies of how quasars' light levels change over time to provide information about where their energy is produced and infer what they might look like. This mini research scenario will introduce participants to using the START Collaboratory tools and resources while creating an online research journals. Astronomy research scenarios are being created for the START Collaboratory, an NSF-funded (STI-0334168) initiative to engage high school students in authentic science research. These research scenarios are being further developed to be used in a high school teacher professional development initiative funded by an NSF CI-TEAM Demonstration Project grant (SCI-053746 bring cyberinfrastructure tools and resources into the classroom.

Brief Description: Located at vast distances and producing more energy than a thousand Milky Way galaxies, quasars appear star-like through all but the largest telescopes. Quasars are now known to be the most luminous of the active galactic nuclei or AGN. Because of their great distances from us, we are unable to directly observe the structure of quasars. Astronomers rely on studies of how quasars' light levels change over time to provide information about where their energy is produced and infer what they might look like. This mini research scenario will introduce participants to using the START Collaboratory tools and resources while creating an online research journals. Astronomy research scenarios are being created for the START Collaboratory, an NSF-funded (STI-0334168) initiative to engage high school students in authentic science research. These research scenarios are being further developed to be used in a high school teacher professional development initiative funded by an NSF CI-TEAM Demonstration Project grant (SCI-053746 bring cyberinfrastructure tools and resources into the classroom.

Brief Description: Located at vast distances from us and producing huge amounts of energy, most quasars appear star-like, even through large telescopes. Scientists are still probing their mysteries, even after forty years since quasars were first recognized as a new type of celestial object. Astronomers are very interested in how quasars' light levels change with time. Join the hunt for patterns in quasar variability: Choose a candidate quasar from all the quasars captured by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), request additional images of your quasar from a telescope in Perth, Australia, and create a plot of the quasar's light output. If your work is approved by a mentor/astronomer you will be invited to submit your findings to an on-line catalogue of data that can be accessed by other astronomers.
