Your Investment in the ASP Is Making a Difference...
Universe in the Classroom. Thanks to the support of individuals who believe in the ASP's mission, our on-line teacher's newsletter was revitalized in 2006, allowing us to continue publishing this valuable resource for inservice teachers around the world. The newsletter received thousands of hits in the months leading up to the Mercury transit, which was featured in the fall issue. The winter issue, written by a member of the Hubble team, discussed the Pluto debate and included a newly developed classroom activity. Universe in the Classroom can be viewed online at www.astrosociety.org/uitc Project ASTRO.
