The HOU Curriculum
The HOU curriculum integrates mathematics,
science and technology in the context of exciting astronomical explorations.
HOU addresses many of the goals for mathematics and science education
standards by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the
National Research Council. Through the investigation of the solar system,
galaxies, variable stars, and supernovae students develop problem-solving
techniques and critical thinking skills. Along the way students discover the
need for algebra, geometry, various data representations and interpretations,
as well as physical principles such as force and motion, energy
transformations, and properties of light. The classroom computer, along
with the image processing software and telecommunications, are regarded
as research tools which enable students to pursue their investigations.
