Abstract

(Abstract only) The laboratory program at Collin County Community College is designed to engage the student in a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. Indoor tasks include up to fifteen investigations, some of which have been contributed by our staff and are performed on the computer. Day and evening classes are involved in outdoor observations. Field trips to observatories and planetariums combined with jointly sponsored special astronomy events enhance the student’s experience.
