PROJECT CLEA (Contemporary Laboratory Experiences in Astronomy)
develops laboratory exercises that illustrate modern astronomical
techniques using digital data and color images. They are suitable for
high- school and college classes at all levels, and can be configured
for many purposes using option screens accessible to teachers, but come
with defaults set for use in introductory astronomy classes for
non-science majors. Each CLEA laboratory exercise includes a dedicated
computer program, a student manual, and in some cases, a technical
guide for the instructor. The technical guides describe file formats,
user-settable options, and algorithms used in the programs. CLEA labs
run under Windows on PC's, but can be run under Windows emulation on
Macs and Linux/Unix machines. (Using, for instance, Parallels or WINE).
Clicking on the Software icon on the left of your screen
will take you to the page where you can view all available software.
Clicking on any of the lab icons on that page allows you to view the
lab description, download software, and much more. Manuals,
questionnare forms and lab software are readily available throughout
the site. Full CD-ROM images with all of our software are also
available on our site for download (several hundred Mb each).
Please feel free to browse around. Any questions or comments can be
directed to
clea@gettysburg.edu through our evaluation forms
, our memo forms or one
of many direct e-mail links throughout our site.
PROJECT CLEA has been supported by Gettysburg College
and grants from the National Science Foundation (1992-2012) and
NASA.
