Scientific paper

As part of a NASA-funded Hubble Space Telescope (HST) research project, staff at the ADC received an augmentation grant to support Education and Public Outreach (E/PO) activities. The goal of the project, dubbed Project AstroData, is to develop a pilot series of on-line science education tutorials and exercises for K-12 students. These products are intended to demonstrate the connections between new HST observations and existing astronomical data at the ADC that students can easily access. Some of the student lessons focus specifically on the subject of the parent HST observing program: a study of colliding and merging galaxies within the context of an evolving universe. Connections are demonstrated between exciting HST images and previously catalogued astronomical data at the ADC. These connections provide the basis of the lesson plans. The project's educational resources are universally available on-line via the WWW on the new Project AstroData web site. These resources include the Project AstroData activities, lesson plans, HST images, and related tutorials. Support for this work was provided by NASA through grant number EO-8230.02 from the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by AURA, Inc., under NASA contract NAS5-26555.
