 Welcome to the Initiative to Develop Education in Astronomy and Space Science (IDEAS) project webpage at the University of Rochester. We, in the Near Infrared Astrophysics Lab, have designed some activities to enhance the space science curriculum in the Rochester City School District. The cornerstone of program is the Model Comet Lesson.

The links to the left will lead through all of our activities. Some of these links are under construction. Please bear with us and check back in a few weeks.
