Scientific paper

The Radio JOVE project (radiojove.gsfc.nasa.gov) began over six years ago as an NASA education-centered program to inspire school students' interest in space science through hands-on radio astronomy. Students build a radio receiver and antenna kit capable of receiving Jovian, solar, and galactic emissions at a frequency of 20.1 MHz. The Radio JOVE project has made it possible to monitor real-time, research quality, spectrograph data and audio from professional radio telescopes in Florida (ufro1.astro.ufl.edu) and Hawaii (jupiter.wcc.hawaii.edu) using standard web browsers and/or freely downloadable software (Radio-Skypipe software, radiosky.com). Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) has created a Radio JOVE telescope online (physics.mtsu.edu/~mtro) in order to improve school participation and add to the geographical coverage for observations. We are currently working with West End Middle School in Nashville to have students learn the process of science through observations, testing, analyzing, and archiving data. Using the Radio JOVE project we will attempt to improve students' interest and literacy in science; we will highlight quantitative data on students and learning outcomes. We hope this can lead to a long-term partnership in education between MTSU and local middle and secondary schools.
