Explore the Solar System—on foot! This augmented-reality iPhone app creates a virtual model of the Solar System around you, reduced to a walkable scale.

Choose a scale and starting point and then start walking! The app places the Sun and planets around you in virtual space. Walk across the street to visit Venus, Head down the block to Jupiter, and stretch your legs to get a glimpse of Pluto. As you walk, the app tracks your location in both the real and the virtual world, so you can wander amongst the planets, visiting each one, and zooming in to inspect and learn about moons, asteroids, and comets. Adjust the distance scale to fit the solar system inside your neighborhood or across your city. Earn achievements and send reports of your journeys to Facebook and Twitter!

Black holes are places where ordinary gravity has become so extreme that it overwhelms all other forces in the Universe. Once inside, nothing can escape a black hole's gravity -- not even light. Yet we know that black holes exist. We know how they are born, where they occur, and why they exist in different sizes. We even know what would happen if you fell into one. Our discoveries have revealed one of the strangest objects in the Universe, and there's still much we don't know. The nearest black hole is many lightyears away, so we don't have to worry about threats to the Earth. This is as close as you'll ever get to one. So come explore!

The new Oakland Bay Bridge, currently under construction through 2007, is designed to withstand severe earthquakes. To explore the challenges facing bridge designers and builders, eduweb developed several interactive modules exploring the science, technology and people involved in the project:

• Learn about plate tectonics and the coming quake.
• Design a bridge that can withstand a Maximum Seismic Event—then it to see how it fares!
• Explore the people and technologies involved in the new bridge.

NASA and the Russian space agency have spent over forty years solving the problems of living in space. Can you match wits with their engineers and design a human habitat as good as the new International Space Station?

Rocks that float. Golden cubes. What's going on here? Join Rex the Dino Detective and solve these mysteries about rocks, fossils and minerals. Includes an interactive animated exploration of a slab of fossilized sea floor.

This set of interactive modules brings several middle school lesson plans to the Web, giving students some hands-on exploration of key topics in astronomy and the search for E.T.I.

This lab connects NASA's Stardust comet-exploration mission with the International Space Station project. Students explore the engineering choices that went into Stardust, then design a new spacecraft to protect the Space Station from orbital space junk.

Since 1998, we have developed more than twenty digital labs for the award-winning JASON Foundation for Education distance-learning program. Each digital lab explores real-world science in an engaging goal-based scenario that explores both the topic at hand and the ways that scientists formulate questions and conduct research. On topics ranging from ecology to extraterrestrial volcanoes, our digital labs have given students a hands-on experience with scientific investigation.

Our most recent labs are described below. Some are publicly available but most are available only to JASON subscribers. Go to JASON Foundation for Education's web site.
