We are developing an educational module to improve student and public understanding of the Sun's magnetic cycle. The instructional package features a CDROM compatible with most personal computers available in the home or classroom with a day-by-day record of an entire magnetic cycle as recorded in magnetograms from the National Solar Observatory Kitt Peak Vacuum Telescope (NSO/KPVT) near Tucson, AZ. These data have in fact been crucial to developing our present understanding of the solar cycle and its terrestrial effects. In the second year of the project, we have loaded the data to compact disks both as individual "gif" files for inspection and analysis and as QuickTime movies, have prepared the first version of the accompanying textual material, and are developing macros to aid extraction of information from the data for various laboratory exercises. We will display samples of these images and movies, and will furnish copies of the compact disks and accompanying textual material for testing and comment.
