Brief Description: The Northwestern University Collaboratory Project invites all Illinois K-12 students to participate in iVote '06 for the Illinois gubernatorial election. Students can participate in a poll on issues of concern to youth today and share position papers on the areas that matter to them most to them. The candidates will have an opportunity to respond to the issues identified in the poll.

Brief Description: [This project will serve as a model for reviewing Primary Sources your student collect for their research. You can make your own version of this project to use with your students by clicking the "Copy Project" button. You can make the project your own by editing the text in brackets, revising the Activity descriptions and changing the Activity dates.] In this project, we are going to learn how to cite and annotate primary sources and better understand the era from which they came. You are going to create a document in the ePortfolio for your primary source, exchange private comments with your teacher then discuss the primary sources of your peers.

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.

Students will complete a survey of the number and kinds of birds they see in a specific location and will report on at least one of the birds they have seen. This project will run the same days as the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC), a four-day event sponsored by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society (http://www.birdsource.org/gbbc/). NOTE: Though the Collaboratory is not officially associated with GBBC, we encourage participants to submit their counts to their GBBC checklist, as well.

Brief Description: A QUASAR is thought to be an extremely distant, small, unusually bright center of a galaxy powered by a huge black hole. Studying quasars allows us to learn about the early Universe, but very few of them have been studied in detail. Through this project, choose a quasar, request new telescope images of your quasar, create a plot of the quasar's light output, and submit your findings to an on-line catalogue of data that can be accessed by students, teachers, and astronomers.
