e-Labs are Grid-enabled collaborative research environments which make data and analysis tools from large scientific collaborations available for pre-college science research. Guided-inquiry pedagogy underlies a workflow consisting of a series of performance milestones and associated resources, providing assistance for students in climbing the learning curve so as to query data, publish studies and interact with readers in the e-Lab. Teacher pages are available to help them use e-Labs in their classrooms. Currently three e-Labs--using data from the QuarkNet/WALTA Cosmic Ray collaboration, the CMS test beam, and the environmental sensing monitors from LIGO-Hanford--are currently deployed in production or testing runs. Students at Saint Joseph’s High School in South Bend, IN are extending the e-Lab pedagogy to astronomy using data from the National Optical Astronomy Observatory’s TLRBSE research projects, as well as data from the Spitzer Space Telescope under the NOAO/NASA Spitzer Research Teacher program. The prospects of developing and employing e-Labs to facilitate high school student research using data from virtual observatories will be discussed. e-Labs are being developed under the NSF-supported Interactions in Understanding the Universe (I2U2) program.
