Ward, R. Bruce; Sadler, Philip M.; Shapiro, Irwin I. – Astronomy Education Review, 2008
We report on an evaluation of the effectiveness of Project ARIES, an astronomy-based physical science curriculum for upper elementary and middle school children. ARIES students use innovative, simple, and affordable apparatus to carry out a wide range of indoor and outdoor hands-on, discovery-based activities. Student journals and comprehensive…
