The HOU
Middle School Curriculum, Solar
System Science (previously Hands-On
Solar System or HOSS),
lets your students use images from professional telescopes
along with image processing software developed for
use in the classroom, to learn key concepts in astronomy,
mathematics, and technology. Solar
System Science blends content learning with critical thinking skills
and processes such as data interpretation, measurement
techniques, and using appropriate tools for exploration.
