A few hundred thousand students enroll in “Astro 101” courses each year in the US to meet natural science curriculum requirements. Laboratories associated with these courses contain a variety of programmatic elements such as dark (and day-) time observing, computer based labs, and the use of a planetarium. The development of robust automated mounts for small telescopes, coupled with modestly priced cooled CCD cameras has provided new possibilities for survey astronomy labs use of large numbers of locally-produced digital imagery in a variety of experiments. I will describe template lab curricula (12-14 labs per semester) which utilize images obtained from a campus observatory as the primary component of a survey astronomy lab. For those fortunate enough to host a planetarium, I will describe some unorthodox planetarium labs which can also be built into the lab curriculum.
