Scientific paper

For the past four years the Solar System Collaboratory has used Geoscience and Planetary Science to motivate the standard introductory curriculum in college Physics and Astronomy for non-majors. Extensive use of java-based simulations is being made to provide interactivity and facilitate the use of guided inquiry. Class management scripts are used to tailor the level of instruction to the appropriate level for each class, and to extend the use of the simulations to the high-school and elementary levels. Assessment and evaluation results including learning gains for three years of college level courses will be presented, and the challenges and opportunities of extending the work to elementary and high schools will be discussed.
